On this day, we commemorate, or remember, the 40 Holy Martyrs of Sebaste. These saints were Roman soldiers who loved and served Jesus Christ. Their commander wanted them to stop following Christ, and tried many things to make them stop. He even put the soldiers in a cold, cold lake! But the soldiers cared more about heavenly things than earthly things and followed Jesus until they died.
Through the prayers of the 40 holy martyrs of Sebaste, O Lord our God, have mercy on us and save us!
