Life

Holy Martyr Gerontius, called the eunuch in the Menaion, is remembered on 13 April, by the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style). The Menaion places him in the same list as the Empress Theodosia and as the martyrs Dadas, Quintillian, Maximus, Eleutherius the Persian, Zoilus and Theodosius. Our sources say nothing of his life and death.

Commemorated the same day April 13
