ANTIGONUS OF CONSTANTINOPLE
Antigonus was the father of Saint Eupraxia or Euphrasia or Euphrasia (Memorial: March 13). He died the death of the righteous about the year 381.
Migne* lists him as "Saint Antigonus" and says that his feast is celebrated in some places on January 11, in others on March 4. The Bollandists* make no mention of him, not even in their section headed "Praetermissi." (Mg.)
