Holy Martyr Hermogenes

St. Hermogenes the Martyr (Feast Day - July 24)

Verses

Without mercy all your teeth were pulled out,
Escaping, Hermogenes, those with grinding teeth.

The Holy Martyr Hermogenes met his end by having all his teeth pulled out.*

Notes:

* It is likely that this caused him to die by infection and bleeding.
