Bishop Irineu of Sirmium, a beacon of faith in the face of Roman persecution, met his martyrdom during the reign of Emperor Diocletian. He fearlessly confessed his belief in Christ before the Roman authorities. They subjected him to brutal tortures, hoping to make him renounce his faith. Despite enduring immense suffering, Irineu remained steadfast, refusing to deny Christ. Finally, he was executed. His unwavering faith and courage serve as a testament to the power of Christian conviction.

Holy Hieromartyr Irineu, pray to God for us!
