Hermes of Dalmatia (Greek: Ἑρμᾶς) is numbered among the Seventy Disciples. He was bishop in Dalmatia.
Life
He is usually identified with the Hermes mentioned by Paul in Romans 16:14, and said to have succeeded Titus as Bishop of Dalmatia.
His feast days are celebrated on April 8 with his fellow martyrs, and on January 4 among the Seventy.
(There is another Apostle of the Seventy by the name of Hermas, who was bishop in the Thracian city of Philippopolis).
Hymns
Troparion (Tone 1) [1]
Let us praise in hymns the six–fold choir of Apostles:
Herodion and Agabus,
Rufus, Asyncritus, Phlegon and holy Hermes.
They ever entreat the Trinity for our souls!
Kontakion (Tone 2)
You became the disciples of Christ
And all-holy Apostles,
O glorious Herodion, Agabus and Rufus,
Asyncritus, Phlegon and Hermes.
Ever entreat the Lord
To grant forgiveness of transgressions
To us who sing your praises.
Kontakion (Tone 4)
Like stars, O holy Apostles,
You illumine the way of the faithful with the light of the Holy Spirit.
You dispel the darkness of error as you gaze on God the Word!
