Life

Eutychian was a Spanish martyr in Africa, who suffered at the time of the Vandal persecution, together with Arcadius, Paschasius and Probus. The Roman Martyrology says that they absolutely refused to accept the Arian heresy, were proscribed by King Genseric, driven into exile and finally, after fearful tortures, put to death in various ways. A brother of Paschasius, he was one of the four; their witness was confirmed by their small brother Paulillus, who was long beaten with rods and condemned to a base servitude because he could not be moved from the Catholic faith.

He is commemorated on 13 November, in the Western calendar (new style), as a saint of the undivided Church, venerated in the West.

Commemorated the same day November 13
