Life

Holy Martyr Eulogius of Palestine was a native of Palestine, born to pagan parents. After their death he gave his possessions to the poor and chose the life of a wanderer, travelling through the land of Palestine and bringing pagans to faith in Christ.

In a time of persecution he was seized, subjected to terrible tortures and finally beheaded. The Church remembers him on 18 March (new style). An account of his martyrdom is also found in the Lives of the Saints compiled by Saint Demetrius of Rostov.
