In the days of Diocletian, #Evangelicus, a bishop in Tomis, refused to sacrifice to idols. He was tortured, but remained steadfast in his faith. Thrown into prison, he healed a fellow prisoner. Brought before the authorities again, he was mercilessly beaten and ultimately beheaded for his unwavering devotion to #Christ.

Holy Hieromartyr Evangelicus, pray to #God for us! #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Martyr
