Holy Martyr Theodore is remembered on 1 August, in the Greek Menaion, among the martyrs Kerykos, Menaeus, Menas, Papas the New and Polyeuctus. The synaxarion says that he died by the sword, and his verses speak of a divine longing to receive the desired gifts through the sword. Our sources do not give the year or the place of his suffering.
