Eucarpius of Nicomedia

Saint Eucarpius, martyr, was a soldier in Nicomedia and died a martyr in the persecution of Diocletian (284 to 305), burned at the stake, together with the martyr Trophimus. The Orthodox Church commemorates them on 18 March by the old calendar, which is 31 March by the new.

Eucarpius and Trophimus were at first known for great harshness in persecuting Christians. Through a divine revelation, however, they believed in Christ and accepted death for the faith. They were arrested, tormented and finally burned.

The sources at hand say nothing of other events of his life.
