Holy Martyr Romanus

Reading from the Synaxarion:

Saint Romanus, who was from Antioch, lived during the reign of
Maximian. He presented himself before Asclepiades the Eparch, and rebuked
him, saying, "The idols are not gods; even a little child could tell
you that." Then the Saint asked that a child be brought in from the
market, that he might be the judge of the matter at hand. Therefore, when
the child was asked, "Which God must we worship?" he replied,
"Christ." The child was beaten mercilessly and beheaded at the command of
the tyrant. As for Saint Romanus, his tongue was cut out, and then he
was cast into prison, where he was strangled in the year 305.

Kontakion in the Fourth Tone
O all-lauded Romanus, since the Church hath thee as a bright,
majestic star, she is now guided by the light of thy great contests, and
she doth praise and glorify thine all-luminous memory.
