Hermione of Ephesus was a second-century Christian martyr and healer born in Caesarea Maritima. As a daughter of Philip the Evangelist, she traveled to Ephesus with her sister to assist in missionary work. She gained significant renown for her medical skills and for establishing the first Christian hospital in the city. Her steadfast refusal to renounce her faith before Roman authorities led to various trials and her eventual execution, marking her as a figure of immense courage in early Christian history.
