Lentorama 2018: Second String Saints

Day 13 - Hermes

Hermes was said to have been martyred in 120 at the order of a judge named Aurelian, and may have been a wealthy freeman. That is pretty much everything that is known about Hermes, who was made a saint on the strength of his reported acts in various sources. Wasn't enough to keep him from getting dropped of the calendar, though he's still a saint. Whoever he was.
