Life

Theodore the Martyr is a martyr commemorated in the Greek Orthodox calendar. The sources at hand do not preserve details of the place, time or manner of his martyrdom; we know only that the Church honours him among the martyrs who confessed Christ in death.

The name Theodore, meaning "gift of God", was borne by many martyrs, so that several commemorations in the synaxaria carry the same name.

Commemorated the same day September 12
