Even after they cut out his tongue, he continued to speak clearly!
Romanus of Caesarea was a Christian deacon during the fierce persecutions under the Roman emperor Diocletian in the early 4th century.
When pagan officials ordered the people of Caesarea to offer sacrifices to the Roman gods, Romanus publicly rebuked them. He boldly declared that Christ alone is the true God, and urged the Christians present not to deny their faith.
The governor was enraged.
Romanus was seized and subjected to brutal torture. His body was scourged and torn, yet he refused to renounce Christ. In an attempt to silence him, the authorities cut out his tongue.
But according to early Christian accounts, even after this mutilation he continued to speak clearly, praising Christ and encouraging the believers who watched.
Unable to break him, the persecutors finally ordered his death. Romanus was strangled in prison, sealing his testimony with his blood during the persecution that swept across the Roman Empire.
