A Roman official, #Hermes, secretly converted to #Christianity after witnessing the miraculous healing performed by Saint Apelles. When Emperor Adrian learned of Hermes's faith, he ordered him to renounce Christ and worship pagan idols. Hermes refused, declaring his unwavering belief in the true God. He endured brutal torture, yet remained steadfast. Finally, he was beheaded for his faith.

Holy Martyr Hermes, intercede for us to Christ our God!
