On Wednesday, August 24, 2022, the Orthodox Church honored the memory of Euplas, an early Christian saint, Hieromartyr, Archdeacon. It served in the church of the city of Catania on the island of Sicily. The saint suffered from the emperor Maximian and Diocletian in 304 during the great persecution. He was tortured and beheaded for preaching.

The Holy Martyr is the patron saint of the cities of Francavilla, Catania and Trevico. A church in the city of Etna is dedicated to him. He was very worshiped in Russia. In 1471 a wooden church was built in Moscow in honor of the archdeacon Evpla. Zar Alexei Michailowitsch replaced it in 1657 with a stone. In memory of the saints, a majestic thre e-story building was built in the 18th century, which was destroyed in 1926.

Theodore gave all his wealth, pulled back into a monastery and lived in the Varangian cave. He spent many years in strict abstinence, but then he began to mourn the distributed fortune. Saint Basil, who lived with him in his cell, could comfort him.

When the Holy Basilius was absent for three months and obeyed outside the monastery, Theodore appeared a demon in the form of his friend and showed the robbers where the treasures were hidden in the cave. The monk found a treasure and decided to leave the monastery to acquire an estate and live in the world, but at that time the Holy Basilius returned and the demonic deception was unveiled. In order to free himself from the passion of money love, the Mönch Theodore put a millstone in his place and grinded grain at night.

Prince Mstislav Svyatopolkovich learned that the monk Theodore had found many treasures in a cave and ordered him to point out the place where they were hidden. Theodore replied to the prince that he had really found a lot of gold, but he buried the valuables together with Vasily, and God took his memory and now he didn’t remember where they were hidden.

The prince did not believe the saint and ordered to torture him to death. Theodore was beaten hard and then hung up over a fire. Then Mstislav Svyatopolkovich, St. Basil to torture, and later he killed him with an arrow. Before his death, Vasily threw an arrow at the prince’s feet and predicted his death through the arrow. The prophecy of the martyr fulfilled: On July 15, 1099, during the internet war, the prince was hit by an arrow to the chest and died the next night. Mstislav Svyatopolkovich said before his death: “I die for the venerable martyrs Theodore and Basil.”

As a result, however, Evpatiy fell into an unequal struggle. Nevertheless, the memory of him in Russia is still retained.

People called the date of August 24, the white horse, and all of this because, according to legend, at night of Eupla, spirits walk, howling, whistle and songs. A white horse jumps out of the swamp, cries complaining and runs over the graves.
