Life
Elpidephorus was a Persian senator who supported the Christian faith. He was burned alive, about 350, in the persecution of King Shapur II, with four companions: Acindynus, Anempodistus, Aphthonius and Pegasius. Their relics went to Constantinople, and in 1204 to France. They are commemorated on 2 November. The date is that of the Orthodox Menaion (13 days later on the old calendar).
