Theodorus of Ancyra

Holy Confessor Theodorus of Ancyra is the first bishop of the see of Ancyra (today Ankara) in Galatia whose name has come down to us. He suffered, in all likelihood, in one of the persecutions of the third century, as a confessor of the Christian faith. The Greek synaxaria say of him that he was rather a defender of the holy icons, but the supposition is uncertain.

The sources at hand do not preserve details of his life. He is commemorated on 3 November (new style); he does not appear in the present Russian Menaion.
