Life

Holy Martyr Paul the Newly Revealed is commemorated on 21 October (new style) in the Greek synaxarion, together with Andrew, Stephen and Peter, called in the synaxaria the newly revealed. All suffered in the time of the emperor Constantine Copronymus, in the eighth century.

Andrew was a monk from Crete; after rebuking Copronymus he was beheaded and buried in the place called Krisis (see 17 October). The other three, probably monks as well, firmly defended the holy Orthodox canons and were put to the sword by the emperor's command. A verse says that Stephen has three companions in his crowns, those who contended with him by one sword.

Commemorated the same day October 21
