A martyr commemorated in the calendar of the Orthodox Church, put to death for his faith in Christ.
Life
Holy Martyr Theodore suffered together with the Holy Martyr George. The calendar page we rely on says that the time and circumstances of their martyrdom are unknown. They are mentioned on 20 July in the Typikon of the Great Church of the tenth century and on 21 July (3 August, new style) in the Synaxarion of the Church of Constantinople of the same century. In later calendars, in the Greek verse synaxaria and in the Synaxaristes of Saint Nicodemus of the Holy Mountain, the martyrs are commemorated on 21 July (3 August).
Theodore is commemorated on 3 August (new style), and the Greek tradition also commemorates them on 2 August. Their names are not included in the present Menologion of the Russian Church.
