Saints celebrated on the 30th of May
SAINT EUPLIUS, MARTYR
For being steadfast in the Christian faith, Saint Euplius was killed by this torture: he was wrapped in an ox-hide and exposed to the sun, which led to a most excruciating death. He is especially revered by the Greeks. Saint Euplius, pray for us. (VI. 238)
