Theodulus

Holy Martyr Theodulus is remembered among those who suffered in the time of Pope Stephen of Rome, in the year 257, under the emperor Valerian. He was the son of the tribune Olympius and of Exuperia. Their household steward Symphronius was brought by Olympius to the temple of Mars to be tortured, but by his prayer he melted the golden idol. The tribune, his wife and their son Theodulus then believed and were baptized.

They were burned, and their remains were buried by Saint Stephen, pope of Rome. Saint Theodulus is commemorated on 15 August together with Saint Stephen and the other martyrs of those days, in the new style.
