Theodulus of Ephesus

Holy Martyr Theodulus of Ephesus served the Emperor Hadrian, together with the Holy Martyr Timothy. They were charged with carrying out the execution of Saint Hermione. Going along the road, they wished to commit a wrong against the saint, but as soon as they thought of it, their hands withered. Then they believed in Jesus Christ and, with repentance, fell at the feet of Saint Hermione. They asked her to pray to the Lord to call them to Himself before her, which was fulfilled by her prayer.

Theodulus is commemorated on 17 September, according to the Greek tradition. His name is not included in the present Menologion of the Russian Church.
