Venerable Gregory the Decapolit, a beacon of faith, faced intense opposition for defending icon veneration during the Iconoclast controversy. Enduring imprisonment and banishment, he never wavered. His unwavering commitment to truth inspired many to hold firm to the authentic teachings of the Church. May his steadfastness guide us as we navigate our own challenges, standing firm in the face of adversity. #OrthodoxChristian #Saints #Faith #Prayer #Church
