Arcadius of Cyprus

Venerable Arcadius of Cyprus struggled on the island of Cyprus in the time of the emperor Constantine the Great (306-337) and died in the year 361. From his youth he chose the monastic life, set many on the road to Christ and strengthened them in the faith. Among his spiritual children were the holy martyrs Julian the physician and Eubulus, put to death in the time of Julian the Apostate. Arcadius mourned their martyric death and buried their bodies, and in a short while he himself reposed in peace, with many gifts and wonders received from God. The Church of Georgia commemorates him on 6 March (old style; 19 March new style).
