Ermil, a deacon, and Stratonic, a prison guard, were martyred for their faith in Singidunum (Belgrade) during Licinius' reign. Ermil was tortured for confessing Christianity, while Stratonic, secretly a Christian, wept openly at Ermil's suffering, revealing his belief. Both were condemned; Ermil was beaten and drowned in the Danube, and Stratonic was beheaded.

Holy Martyrs Ermil and Stratonic, intercede for us!
