He lived during the reign of fierce Christia n persecutors Diocletian & Galerius. When the persecution became unbearabl e\, Romanus was forced to flee to Antioch. There\, he continued his preach ing & became an example for the Christian faithful there. \n\nThe governor of Antioch\, Asclypiades had plans to destroy the church buildings by raz ing them to the ground. Romanus encouraged his brethren to stand firm & pr otect the sanctuary\; for if they succeeded they'd rejoice on earth\, & if they were martyred they'd rejoice in heaven. It was time for the pagan fe stival of Terminalia\, & countless pagans gathered in Antioch. Romanus bol dly denounced idol worship\, proclaiming to all that only Jesus Christ was the one God. The governor had him arrested & brutally tortured\, but he r emained steadfast. In the crowd was a child named Barulas\, Romanus looked at the child & then told the governor that the child is wiser than him as he worships the true God\, not idols of stone. The child was brought befo re Asclypiades\, who tortured the child for refusing to denounce Christ. T he child asked his mother for something to drink\, but she replied do not drink now\, for the living water of blessedness would soon be his. The gov ernor then had the child beheaded. Thus St. Barulas attained the crown of martyrdom. \n\nRomanus was condemned to be burnt alive\, but a sudden rain extinguished the fires. Angered by his unceasing proclamations\, the gove rnor had the tongue of Romanus cut & thrown away. Miraculously\, though hi s tongue was cut off\, Romanus continued to loudly exclaim his love for th e Lord\, astonishing the gathered crowd. The furious governor ordered his soldiers to strangle the saint. Thus Mor Romanus attained the crown of mar tyrdom.\n\nBiography courtesy of\, 'Martyrs\, Saints and Prelates of the S yriac Orthodox Church'\n\nOh Mor Romanus & Mor Barulas! Plead for us befor e God's throne of grace. Amen. LOCATION: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
