Commemorated on August 18
The
martyrs Hermes, Serapion, and Polyaenus were Romans who suffered for
Christ in the second century. They were thrown into prison, and under
interrogation they firmly confessed their faith in Christ and refused to
offer sacrifice to idols. The martyrs were dragged through crowds and
impassable places. Pelted with stones and other material, they died,
receiving their heavenly crowns.
