Holy Martyr Eleutherios the Persian

St. Eleutherios of Persia (Feast Day - April 13)

Verses

Eleutherios was not enslaved to error,
Freely he stood before the edge of the sword.

Saint Eleutherios was from Persia, who was taught the word of truth by Bishop Symeon. As he was traveling along the road on his way home, he began to teach others about salvation in Christ. Many were converted through his preaching and were baptized. The fire-worshiping Persians however did not like this, so he was arrested and brought before the arch-magis to persuade him to abandon his faith in Christ. Since they could not convert him, even after much torture, they had him beheaded, and in this way he received the unfading crown of martyrdom.

Support the Mystagogy Resource Center

For more than fifteen years, the Mystagogy Resource Center has been a labor of love dedicated to making the riches of the Orthodox Christian tradition freely available to people throughout the world.

Thousands of articles, translations, lives of saints, theological reflections, historical resources, and daily materials have been published across this ministry’s websites, all offered free of charge for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Orthodox faith.

This is a one-man ministry that requires countless hours of research, translation, writing, editing, and maintenance each day.

If this work has spiritually benefited, educated, encouraged, or inspired you in any way, I humbly ask you to consider supporting this ministry financially.

Generous annual and monthly benefactors make possible the continuation and expansion of this work for the future, for without such support this ministry cannot exist.

Every contribution, whether large or small, truly makes a difference and is deeply appreciated. May God bless you abundantly for your generosity and prayers.
