Venerable #Martyr Hermes, a Roman soldier, faced accusations of #Christianity during Emperor Aurelian's reign. Despite threats and torture, he remained steadfast in his faith, confessing Christ openly. He was subjected to brutal beatings and had his eyes gouged out, yet his spirit remained unbroken. Miraculously, his sight was restored, leading many to believe. Ultimately, Hermes was beheaded for his unwavering devotion. O, holy Hermes, pray to God for us, that we may be granted the strength to emulate your faith in these trying times.
