ACC ~ Revelation 21 v20b

PHILIP HEALED SPIRITUAL WOUNDS. ANDREW OF CAESAREA: Sardion has a shiny red color and possesses therapeutic power for swellings and wounds from iron. For this reason I believe that this stone represents the beauty of the virtue of Philip. For by the fire of the divine Spirit this makes bright and heals the spiritual wounds of those who are deceived, which they received from the attacks of the devil. COMMENTARY ON THE APOCALYPSE 21.20.

THE BLOOD OF THE MARTYRS SHOWED THEIR GLORY. BEDE: Sardion has the color of pure blood and signifies the glory of the martyrs, of whom it is said, “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.”Rightly is it placed in the sixth position, for our Lord was both incarnated in the sixth age of the world and was crucified on the sixth day for the salvation of the whole world.
