Ermil, a deacon, and Stratonic, a guard, were martyred in Singidunum (Belgrade) during Licinius' reign. Ermil was tortured for his faith, while Stratonic, secretly a Christian, wept openly. When Stratonic confessed, they were both condemned. After severe beatings, they were bound, thrown into the Danube, and drowned. Their bodies washed ashore, found by Christians, and were buried nearby.

Let us pray to these steadfast #Martyrs, that through their intercession, we may find the courage to uphold our #Faith and witness to the #Truth in a world that denies Christ. May their sacrifice inspire us to greater #Virtue and unwavering devotion. #Saints
