Hieromartyr St. Eleutherius Orthodox Prayer Card プレイスカード

Hieromartyr Eleutherius was born in the latter parts of the first century. He lost his father at a young age, and his Christian mother gave him to the Bishop of Rome for care. The bishop saw the spirituality in him and by the time Eleutherius was 20, he became a bishop. His preaching brought many to Christianity and, because of this, he was deemed an enemy of the state under Emperor Hadrian. Eleutherius was subsequently martyred.
