- Martyr Sabinas of Hermopolis, Egypt (287)
- He was the administrator (we would say mayor) of the city of
Hermopolis in Egypt. During a persecution, he and many other Christians
fled to the mountains, where Sabinas shut himself in a hut and spent
his days in fasting and prayer. But a poor man who brought him food
(and whom Sabinas had helped in many ways) betrayed him to the
authorities for two pieces of gold. Sabinas and six others were
arrested, bound and brought before the governor Arian. After harsh
torture, Sabinas was drowned in the Nile.
