Life

Holy Martyr Euphrosynus suffered for Christ in the early Christian centuries, being given boiling water to drink, and by this he reposed. The Synaxarion says that the martyr drank the boiling water as a drink, and rejoiced.

The sources preserve no other details of his life. A part of his relics is kept at the Monastery of Saint Andrew in Cephalonia. He is commemorated on 6 March, according to the new calendar.
