Holy Martyrs
Trophimus and Theophilus
Early Christian martyrs, commemorated together in the Orthodox calendar.
Life
The Holy Martyrs Trophimus and Theophilus, together with eleven other believers, thirteen servants of Christ in all, suffered in the time of Emperor Diocletian (284-305). They are commemorated on 23 July (new style), as martyrs of the early Christian centuries.
The sources consulted preserve no details about the manner of their suffering or the place where it happened. The Church honours them together, as confessors of Christ who gave witness unto death. The name Trophimus means in Greek “nourisher”, and Theophilus “lover of God”.
