- Righteous Eudocimus of Cappadocia (9th c.)
- "Saint Eudocimus was from Cappadocia, the son of pious and most
illustrious parents, patricians in rank. He especially cultivated
chastity and mercy, the one by never meeting the gaze of a woman, the
other by cheerfully providing the needs of the poor. When he was made
military commander of Cappadocia, he continued in his righteous ways,
showing mercy and uprightness in all his dealings. Having so lived in
piety, quietly and without ostentation, he was called from this life at
the age of thirty-three, about the year 840, during the reign of the
Iconoclast Theophilus. Not long after his burial, his grave became a
fountain of unending miracles, as God revealed the virtue that Eudocimus
had striven to hide; when his grave was later opened, his body was
found incorrupt. His holy relics were translated to Constantinople." (Great Horologion)
