Life
Saint Hermes was an exorcist in the Church of Bononia, now Vidin, and is a saint of the Catholic and of the Orthodox Church. Not much is known about him, not even the year of his death.
He is mentioned in the Martyrologium Hieronymianum and in the Syriac Martyrology. He was an exorcist, a minister of the Church who prayed for those troubled by evil spirits. He is honoured equally at Vidin and at Archar, the old Ratiaria.
From there he entered the Romanian synaxaria too, on 31 December. The Syrians commemorate him on 30 December.
