ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN MARCH
Saints celebrated on the 5th of March
SAINT EULOGIUS, MARTYR
Saint Eulogius was born in Palestine to wealthy but pagan parents. Led to the Christian faith and baptised, he (after the death of his parents) distributed his entire inheritance to the poor and lived on alms for Christ's sake.
Eulogius went about the country converting many to Christianity, but finally was reported to the authorities, thrown into prison, beaten with ox sinews, and at last, steadfast in his confession of the Christian faith, beheaded. The exact year of his death cannot be specified. (I.361)
