Saint Dadas of Ozovia

A life of faith

Dadas was one of three Christians from Ozovia brought before the authorities at Durostorum. With Maximus and Quintilian he refused pagan sacrifice despite an offer of advancement. The calendar remembers their imprisonment and execution.

The Eastern Orthodox Church remembers saints in prayer and commemoration. Their lives offer examples for Christians learning to live their faith.
