A life of faith

Quintilian was arrested with Maximus and Dadas near Durostorum. The calendar explicitly includes all three in their refusal to abandon Christ for pagan worship. After imprisonment and torture, they were executed in Ozovia.

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

A reflection

Quintilian’s remembrance invites reflection on remaining steadfast beside companions.
