St Eutyches the Martyr, Bishop of Melitene
Commemorated May 28
All information concerning Hieromartyr Eutychius has been lost, except that he was a co-worker with the Holy Apostles, he presented himself before the tyrants, mocked the idols, endured many unspeakable torments, and he suffered for Christ in the city of Melitene during the first century.
Dismissal Hymn (Fourth Tone)
As a sharer of the ways and a successor to the throne of the Apostles, O inspired of God, you found discipline to be a means of ascent to divine vision. Therefore, having rightly divided the word of truth, you also contested for the Faith even to blood, O Hieromartyr Eutyches. Intercede with Christ our God that our souls be saved.
