Euplus
A martyr commemorated in the calendar of the Orthodox Church, put to death for his faith in Christ.
Life
Holy Martyr Euplus died a martyr, sewn into an ox hide and left under the scorching rays of the sun. The calendar page we rely on says nothing of the place, the year or the occasion of his martyrdom, nor of his earlier life, so nothing more can be added with certainty.
He is commemorated on 12 June (new style). His name is not included in the present Menologion of the Russian Church.
