Martyrs Tigrius the Presbyter and Eutropius the Reader

Saint Tigris the Presbyter and Martyr Eutropius the Reader were contemporaries of Saint John Chrysostom and were part of his clergy. Saint Tigris the Presbyter was distinguished by his meekness and mercy, while Saint Eutropius was known for his purity of life and chastity. In 404, after the exile of Saint John Chrysostom from Constantinople, they were captured and accused of setting fire to churches. Saint Tigris was subjected to torture, exiled to Mesopotamia, where he passed away. Saint Eutropius was cruelly tortured, and he died in prison. His body, thrown to be eaten by dogs, was secretly buried by Christians, and during the burial, angelic singing was heard.
