Saints celebrated on the 30th of June
SAINT BASILIDES, MARTYR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Basilides. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Alexandria, the passion of Saint Basilides, under the emperor Severus. He protected from the insults of profligate men the saintly virgin Potamioena, whom he was leading to execution, and received from her the reward of his pious action. For, at the end of three days, she appeared to him, and placing a crown on his head, not only converted him to Christ, but by her prayers made of him, after a short combat, a glorious martyr."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Basilides may increase our devotion and promote our salvation. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
