Byzantine Saints: Martyr Quadratus and those with him at Nicomedia (10 March)

About this sermon

In this video we commemorate St. Quadratus of Nicomedia and the holy martyrs who suffered with him, honored by the Church on March 10. St. Quadratus was born into a wealthy and distinguished Christian family, yet he used his wealth to assist Christians imprisoned during the persecutions of the Roman emperors Decius and Valerian. When the proconsul Perennius arrived in Nicomedia to persecute Christians, Quadratus courageously presented himself voluntarily to strengthen the imprisoned faithful. Despite promises of honor and reward, he refused to deny Christ. The saint endured horrific tortures: A bed of nails with a heavy stone placed upon him Imprisonment and public torture Being thrown into a pit with poisonous serpents Being placed upon red-hot iron Yet through every trial, St. Quadratus remained steadfast, encouraging the other martyrs in their suffering. During their torment, a miraculous sign appeared: A radiant cloud filled the sky while the pagans were plunged into darkness, and the singing of angels was heard glorifying God. Two noblemen, Saturus and Rufinus, moved with compassion for the martyr, confessed Christ and were immediately beheaded for the faith. Finally, after surviving many torments, St. Quadratus was beheaded, sealing his witness to Christ with his blood. These holy martyrs remind us that true Christian courage comes from unwavering faith in Jesus Christ, even in the face of death. May their example strengthen our faith and inspire us to remain steadfast in Christ. 0:00 Introduction 0:25 Persecution under Decius and Valerian 0:35 The noble Christian family of St. Quadratus 0:50 Quadratus voluntarily appears before the proconsul 1:06 Torture on a bed of nails 1:19 Journey of the imprisoned Christians 1:27 Destruction of pagan idols 1:35 Terrible torments and burning wounds 1:44 The miraculous cloud and angelic singing 2:00 Pagans accuse the miracle of sorcery 2:07 The martyrs taken from city to city 2:15 Quadratus thrown into a pit of serpents 2:23 The martyr found unharmed 2:32 Saturus and Rufinus confess Christ 2:41 More refined tortures 2:49 Final confession of faith 2:58 The red-hot iron torture 3:11 The martyrdom of St. Quadratus https://www.oca.org/saints/lives 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
