Today, we honor Saint Hermylus and Saint Stratonicus, faithful servants of Christ who died for their faith during the early 4th-century persecutions. Their friendship, courage, and devotion inspire believers.
Hermylus, a deacon, was arrested for confessing Christ boldly. Despite torture, he refused to deny the Lord. Stratonicus, his friend, comforted him but was arrested for showing compassion. Together, they endured trials with unwavering faith, encouraging each other until martyrdom.
True friendship strengthens faith, courage grows in unity, and Godβs light shines in trials. Love and loyalty are powerful witnesses.
As we remember Hermylus and Stratonicus, may their example inspire us to stand firm in faith, support each other with compassion, and trust in Godβs strength.
βThe righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.β
May their prayers uphold us today. πβοΈπ
