In the reign of Emperor Maximian, Hermes, a Roman soldier, was a secret Christian. When lightning struck near Maximian, Hermes made the sign of the cross, averting disaster. Questioned, he confessed his faith and healed the emperor's possessed son, who then converted to Christianity. Despite their miracles, both Hermes and the emperor's son were imprisoned and subjected to brutal torture. Unwavering, they endured until they were beheaded for their faith.

O Holy Martyr Hermes, intercede with Christ God that He may have mercy on our souls! #Saints #Martyr #Christian #Faith #Prayer
