During the persecution of Christians under Emperor Diocletian, Saint Evangelicus, the Bishop of Tomis (modern Constanța, Romania), fearlessly proclaimed his faith. He was arrested, tortured, and ultimately beheaded for refusing to renounce Christ. Before his martyrdom, he encouraged his flock to remain steadfast, reminding them of the eternal rewards awaiting those who remain faithful. His unwavering commitment to Christ in the face of death serves as a powerful example of Christian fortitude.

Holy Hieromartyr Evangelicus, pray to God for us!
