Martyr Hermes, a Roman soldier, witnessed the unwavering faith of Saint Philemon. Deeply moved, Hermes confessed his own Christianity, defying Emperor Trajan's decree. He was subsequently tortured and beheaded for his belief. Tradition says that after his martyrdom, angels carried his soul to paradise.

Saint Hermes, pray to God for us, that He may guide us in faith and fortitude!
