A life of faith

Eusebius is named among four Christians who fled Nicaea during persecution under Julian and reached Tiberiopolis, now Strumica, through Thessaloniki. The received account identifies him as a monk among the fifteen martyrs commemorated on November 28.

The Eastern Orthodox Church remembers saints in prayer and commemoration. Their lives offer examples for Christians learning to live their faith.

A reflection
