The Martyrs Claudius, Castor, Sempronian, and Nicostratus were skilled sculptors, favored by Emperor Diocletian to create pagan idols. Witnessing Saint Symphorian's steadfast faith during his martyrdom, they were moved to embrace Christianity. Renouncing their craft, they destroyed the idols they had fashioned, proclaiming Christ as the only true God. Their defiance enraged the emperor, who subjected them to brutal tortures. Unwavering in their belief, they endured their suffering with courage and were ultimately drowned at sea. May their example inspire us to stand firm in our faith, even in the face of adversity. Let us pray that, through their intercession, God grants us the strength to resist temptation and remain true to His word.
