Eubulus of Caesarea in Palestine

Holy Martyr Eubulus of Caesarea in Palestine, also called Eubulus of Banea, came, together with the Holy Martyr Adrian, from the village of Banea (Vanea) near Lake Van in Armenia. The two came to Caesarea, which the calendar page calls Caesarea of Cappadocia, to see the martyrs and confessors of Christ.

There they revealed themselves as Christians and were at once brought before the governor Firmilian, before whom they boldly confessed their faith in Christ. For this the governor ordered them handed over to torture. Even after this the saints did not waver, so the governor ordered them thrown to lions. The beasts did not touch them, and the saints were put to the sword.

Eubulus is commemorated on 16 February (new style), together with Adrian. Their story was also written down by Saint Demetrius of Rostov.
