Byzantine Saints: Virgin Martyr Glyceria at Heraclea (13 May)

About this sermon

Saint Glyceria of Heraclea fearlessly confessed Christ during the brutal persecutions of the Roman Empire. Refusing to worship the pagan god Zeus, she made the sign of the Cross upon her forehead and prayed for God to reveal the emptiness of idolatry. At once, the idol shattered before the people. Despite imprisonment, torture, fire, and condemnation to wild beasts, Saint Glyceria remained steadfast in faith. Angels healed her wounds, Christians were strengthened by her witness, and even her jailer converted to Christ after witnessing miraculous healings. Her martyrdom became a testimony to the triumph of Christ over fear, paganism, and death itself. In this video: • The life of Saint Glyceria • The destruction of the idol of Zeus • Miracles during her imprisonment • The conversion and martyrdom of Leodicus • Her final witness before Christ Saint Glyceria suffered for Christ around the year 177 AD, and her holy relics later streamed healing myrrh. May her prayers strengthen us in courage, purity, and unwavering faith. 00:00 Introduction to Saint Glyceria 00:26 Early Life and Noble Family 00:51 The Imperial Order to Worship Zeus 01:00 Saint Glyceria Chooses Christ 01:17 Entering the Pagan Temple 01:32 The Idol of Zeus is Destroyed 01:48 Arrest and Imprisonment 02:02 Angelic Intervention During Torture 02:20 Angels Sustain the Saint in Prison 02:35 Journey to Heraclea in Thrace 02:53 The Fiery Furnace Miracle 03:01 Torture and Miraculous Healing 03:23 The Conversion of Leodicus 03:48 Leodicus Confesses Christ 03:58 Condemned Before Wild Beasts 04:08 Saint Glyceria’s Final Prayer 04:18 Her Holy Martyrdom 04:26 Burial and Miraculous Relics 04:42 Closing Reflection #SaintGlyceria #OrthodoxSaints #ChristianMartyrs #LivesOfTheSaints #OrthodoxChristianity #SaintOfTheDay #AncientChristianity #HolyMartyrs #EasternOrthodoxy #ChristianHistory 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.
