In this episode of Every Single Saint, hosts Winston and Kaitlyn wrap up the year 250 AD with stories of courage, sacrifice, and unwavering faith. From Alexandria to Camerino and beyond, this episode highlights lesser-known saints who inspire us to deepen our own faith journeys:
- St. Nemesius of Alexandria: Martyred by fire, echoing Christ's suffering and teaching us the power of steadfast devotion.
- St. Pionius of Smyrna: A priest forewarned of his martyrdom, who prepared himself and his companions for their ultimate sacrifice, boldly defending the faith against Roman authorities.
- St. Venantius of Camerino: A 15-year-old martyr whose enduring faith amidst unspeakable torture remains a testament to childlike trust in God.
- Sts. Secundian, Marcellian, and Verian: Martyrs of Civitavecchia, scholars of the faith who stood firm against persecution.
- St. Conon of Perga: Known as "Conon the Gardener," he may have been the last known descendant of Jesus' family, martyred during the Decian persecutions.
Join us for reflections on their lives, a cozy update from snowy Georgia, and a challenge to make personal sacrifices that strengthen your relationship with God.
