On this day, we honor Saint Hermes, a Roman soldier during the reign of Emperor Aurelian. Denounced for his unwavering faith, Hermes was commanded to deny Christ, but he refused, declaring his allegiance to the true God. He endured brutal tortures, yet remained steadfast. Miraculously healed by an angel, he converted two judges who witnessed the divine intervention. Ultimately, Hermes was beheaded for his faith around 270 AD.

O, Holy Martyr Hermes, intercede for us that we may remain strong in our #Faith and witness to the truth of Christ. #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Prayer #Courage
