==LifeViața==Born in Născută în [[CaesareaCezareea Palestinei]] of Palestine early in the first centuryîn secolul I, StSf. Hermione was Ermiona a daughter of Saint fost fiica sfântului apostol [[Apostle Philip Apostolul Filip (of the Seventydin cei Şaptezeci)|Philip the DeaconFilip din cei 7 Diaconi]] ([[Acts of the ApostlesFaptele Apostolilor|ActsFapte]], chapter cap. 6). Inspired by a true understanding of the gospel, she studied the philosophy of medicine in her native city. After the Christians were driven out of Palestine, St. Hermione traveled to Ephesus to seek out the [[Apostle John|St. John the EvangelistApostolul Ioan]], but arrived too late as he had already departed this life.

St. Hermione bought a house and founded a medical clinic, devoted to the treatment of the poor and the homeless. Joined by her sister Eukhidia, she added rooms for these homeless ones and for poor travelers who were ill. Thus was established the first of those hospital-hostels or ''xenodukia'', which would become so much a part of the Orthodox Christian tradition. Like the other unmercenary physicians who would come after her, she understood that salvation consisted in the healing and liberation of the whole person—body and soul together. While ministering to the physical illnesses of those who came to her, the saint also nourished them with the gospel and led them to that true healing and freedom in [[Jesus ChristIisus Hristos]].

Filled with the grace of the Holy Spirit, St. Hermione was given the gift of prophecy. She became a link in the chain of [[New Noul Testament]] [[prophet]]s who were united in spirit and calling with the great [[Old Vechiul Testament]] prophets.
