ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN DECEMBER Saints celebrated on the 28th of December WELCOME! SAINT TROADIUS, MARTYR Today, we also commemorate Saint Troadius, martyr. The Roman Martyrology states: "At Neocaesarea, in Pontus, Saint Troadius, martyr, in the persecution of Decius. During his combat Saint Gregory Thaumaturgus appeared to him in spirit, and encouraged him to undergo martyrdom." PRAYER: O God, who gladden us each year by the feast of your martyr, Saint Troadius, graciously grant that, as we rejoice in his merits, we may be inspired by his example. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
