Saint Hermes

Memorial: 22 October
Profile: Cleric at Heraclea near Constantinople. Arrested and abused by the authorities with Saint Philip, Saint Severus, and Saint Eusebius; their captors demanded the location of their sacred texts so they could be burned. The group refused to say where they had hidden their copies of the Scriptures, and were martyred. A copy of the court proceedings against them has survived to today.
Died: burned at the stake in 304 at Adrianopolis
Canonized: Pre-Congregation
