Life

Holy Martyr Tathuil, called Phiphail in the Azbyka source, suffered together with his sister, Phivea or Vivea, between the years 98 and 138, for the bold and fruitful preaching of Christianity among the pagans.

After long and ingenious torments, the pagans hung the martyr from a tree and sawed him with a saw, and his sister Phivea they killed with a spear thrust in the neck. The saints are commemorated on 18 September.
