Martyrs Anthony, John, and Eustathius of Vilnius

Today we remember the holy Martyrs Anthony, John, and Eustathius, three brothers who suffered for their Christian faith in 14th century Lithuania. Their steadfastness in the face of persecution under Prince Algirdas is a powerful witness to faith and courage. These martyrs were baptized and nurtured in the Orthodox faith during a time when Christianity was allowed under the prince’s wife. After her death, the prince turned against Christians, leading to the brothers’ imprisonment, torture, and eventual martyrdom. Their story reminds us of the strength found in faith and the hope of eternal life.Support the show
