Today we learn about St. Chaeremon of Nilopolis, an early Christian bishop who remained faithful to Christ during one of the harshest persecutions in Church history. Elderly and vulnerable, Chaeremon chose endurance and fidelity rather than compromise, offering a quiet but powerful witness of faith as the Church suffered under the Decian persecution.

In this episode, Saul shares 7 cool facts about St. Chaeremon. You will learn about his role as a bishop in Roman Egypt, the dangers Christians faced under Emperor Decius, and how Chaeremon fled into the desert with companions to avoid being forced to deny Christ. You will also hear how his death in exile came to be recognized as martyrdom and why his story encouraged persecuted Christians to remain faithful to the very end.

💬 Thought to Remember

“The one who endures to the end will be saved.”

St. Chaeremon reminds us that holiness is often lived quietly through perseverance and trust in God.

✝️ Reflection Verse

“Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.”
