Synaxarion of the Holy Martyr Firmus

St. Firmus the Martyr (Feast Day - June 1)

Verses

Firmus endured many torments,
He also found many rewards in the heavens.

He contested during the reign of Emperor Maximian in the year 299. Arrested for his faith in Christ, he was brought before Magus. Because he could not be persuaded to sacrifice to the idols, he was stripped naked and beaten with oxhides. Then he was suspended and his flesh was lacerated. After this his nose was cut off with a razor. Then they removed his bones from their joints. After this they cut his stomach with knives, as well as the calf of his legs and his thighs. Later he was struck with stones. Finally they beheaded him, and in this way the blessed one received the crown of martyrdom.

Support the Mystagogy Resource Center

For more than fifteen years, the Mystagogy Resource Center has been a labor of love dedicated to making the riches of the Orthodox Christian tradition freely available to people throughout the world.

Thousands of articles, translations, lives of saints, theological reflections, historical resources, and daily materials have been published across this ministry’s websites, all offered free of charge for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Orthodox faith.

This is a one-man ministry that requires countless hours of research, translation, writing, editing, and maintenance each day.

If this work has spiritually benefited, educated, encouraged, or inspired you in any way, I humbly ask you to consider supporting this ministry financially.

Generous annual and monthly benefactors make possible the continuation and expansion of this work for the future, for without such support this ministry cannot exist.

Every contribution, whether large or small, truly makes a difference and is deeply appreciated. May God bless you abundantly for your generosity and prayers.
