Ermil, a deacon, and Stratonic, a guard, were martyred in Singidunum (Belgrade) during Licinius' reign. Ermil openly confessed his faith, enduring severe beatings. Stratonic, secretly a Christian, wept openly at Ermil's suffering, revealing his belief. Both were then drowned in the Danube River for refusing to renounce Christ.
Let us pray to these steadfast martyrs to intercede for our unwavering faith and courage in the face of adversity.
