Euxitheus of Thessaloniki

Saint Euxitheus of Thessaloniki was archbishop of Thessalonica in the middle of the fifth century, successor of Anastasius I. He is commemorated on 16 July, according to the Bulgarian source.

At the third session of the Fourth Ecumenical Council at Chalcedon, on 13 October 451, the name of the bishop of Thessalonica was Euxitheus (or Eudoxius), represented by the presbyter Andrew. This Andrew is presumed to be the same as the bishop Andrew who succeeded Euxitheus on the archiepiscopal throne of Thessalonica. The sources consulted give no other details of his life; the date of 434, in our register, is uncertain, since it is rather the year in which his predecessor Anastasius took the throne.
