ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN AUGUST
Saints celebrated on the 29th of August
SAINTS HYPATIUS AND ANDREW, MARTYRS
Today, we also commemorate Saints Hypatius and Andrew. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Constantinople, the holy martyrs Hypatius, a bishop from Asia, and Andrew, a priest, who for the worship of holy images, under Leo the Isaurian, after having their beards besmirched with pitch and set on fire, and the skin of their heads torn off, were beheaded."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saints Hypatius and Andrew 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.
