Eutychius

Holy Martyr Eutychius was a subdeacon of the Church of Alexandria and a champion of the teachings of the First Ecumenical Council at Nicaea. Athanasius the Great held him in high esteem.

He met a martyr's death in the year 356 at the hands of the Arian heretics and the heretical bishop George. His feast is kept on 26 March, according to the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style).

The same calendar commemorates, the next day, 27 March, a venerable Eutychius who fell asleep in peace; he is not the same person.
