Apostles

Saint Evodus, one of the Seventy Apostles, was the first Bishop of Antioch and a great preacher of the Word of God. According to his own testimony, the Most Holy Theotokos gave birth to the Savior at the age of fifteen. The saint left behind many important writings for the Church, although a large number of them were lost during the persecutions. He endured severe torture for the sake of Christ, until he reposed as a martyr in 66 AD, during the reign of Emperor Vespasian.

Saint Onesiphorus also belonged to the Seventy Apostles. In one of his epistles, the Apostle Paul refers to the help and support offered by the saint. He suffered a martyr’s death when his body was thrown to wild beasts.
