from Saints and Scripture · host Saints and Scripture

Today we remember New Martyr George of Sofia, a soldier in the Ottoman army who bravely confessed Christ despite great danger. His steadfast faith led to his martyrdom in 1437 in Adrianople, where he endured torture and death rather than renounce his belief.George’s story is a powerful example of courage and faithfulness. Even when threatened with death and offered rewards to convert, he remained firm in his witness to Jesus Christ, inspiring us to hold fast to our faith no matter the cost.Support the show
