Eutropius

Holy Venerable Eutropius is commemorated in the Greek calendar on 27 May (new style) in a list of venerables: Lazarus, Eutropius, Elias, Basil, Michael and Matthew.

The list gathers on one date ascetics of different places and times. The Greek synaxarion knows, for example, Lazarus of Pskov (1733-1824, a monk of the Dormition monastery at Pskov), Matthew of Zaransk (1861-1927), Basil, son of the Georgian king Bagrat III (eleventh century), and Michael of Georgia (thirteenth to fourteenth century). For Eutropius the sources consulted say nothing particular: neither the place nor the time of his ascetic life.
