Theodulus of Syria

Holy Martyr Theodulus of Syria was one of the children of the holy martyrs Terentius and Neonilla, a Christian family that suffered in the time of the emperor Decius (249-251). The page names him only in the list of the seven children: Sarbilus, Photus, Theodulus, Hieraxus, Nitus, Vilus and Eunice.

Parents and children zealously confessed Christ and denounced the worship of idols. For this the pagans put the whole family through terrible torments, yet could not make them renounce the true faith. In the end all were beheaded and received the crown of martyrdom.

They are commemorated on 10 November.
