Byzantine Saints: Unmercenary Phyician Thallelaios at Aegae in Cilicia and his companions, (20 May)

About this sermon

Saint Thalleos the Unmercenary Physician, together with the holy martyrs Alexander and Asterios, courageously confessed Christ during the brutal persecutions under Emperor Numerian in the 3rd century. Arrested in the city of Aia in Cilicia, the young physician-in-training endured terrible tortures for refusing to deny Jesus Christ. In this powerful account from the Orthodox Christian tradition, we witness miraculous interventions, fearless martyrdom, wild beasts subdued by God’s power, and the unwavering faith of a saint who became known throughout the Church as an Unmercenary Physician — healing the sick freely for the glory of God. This inspiring story reveals: • Early Christian persecution under the Roman Empire • The courage of Orthodox martyrs • Miracles worked through Saint Thalleos • The witness of Alexander and Asterios • Why Saint Thalleos is invoked in prayers for the sick • The enduring power of faith in Christ Saint Thalleos remains honored in the Church as a holy healer, martyr, and intercessor for the suffering. His relics worked miracles in Constantinople and continue to inspire Christians throughout the world. May the holy martyr Saint Thalleos pray for us. 00:00 Introduction 00:21 Saint Thalleos, Alexander, and Asterios commemorated 00:31 The persecution under Emperor Numerian 00:40 Thalleos brought before the prefect Theodore 00:48 Saint Thalleos boldly confesses Christ 01:22 Torture ordered against the saint 01:34 The miracle of the wooden block 01:46 Alexander and Asterios confess Christ 01:51 The martyrs are beheaded 01:56 Further torture attempts fail 02:04 Saint Thalleos thrown into the sea 02:11 The saint miraculously reappears alive 02:26 The magician advises the prefect 02:31 Wild beasts refuse to attack the saint 02:45 The crowd glorifies the God of the Christians 02:54 The magician is torn apart by beasts 02:59 Saint Thalleos sentenced to death 03:04 Final prayer before martyrdom 03:13 The martyrdom of Saint Thalleos 03:28 Feast days and veneration of the saint 03:38 Miraculous relics in Constantinople 03:45 Saint Thalleos the Unmercenary Physician 03:57 Relics preserved on Mount Athos https://www.oca.org/saints/lives 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
