Life

Saint Theodore the Confessor is commemorated in the Orthodox Church together with Saint Euprepius, on 20 September. The sources we have are few and do not agree in every detail.

The Serbian source calls them disciples of Saint Maximus the Confessor. Theodore spent twenty years in exile and died as a martyr. Euprepius, hunted and cruelly mistreated, suffered in the same year. Both are counted as confessors of the faith.

The Greek source says that Saint Theodore the Confessor is remembered together with Euprepius, abbot of the Monastery of Stoudios in Constantinople. We have no further details of his life.

Commemorated the same day September 20
