Life

Holy Hieromartyr Eutychius is commemorated in the Orthodox calendar together with Timothy and Polius, as one of the deacons of the Church who suffered in Africa, in an unknown year. The Greek synaxaria say of the three holy hieromartyrs only that they were deacons, with no further details.

Our records count him as a priest of the first century of Christianity, but the sources at hand do not confirm the time. The Church honours him as a martyr of the undivided Church.
