Saint of the Day – 17 February – St Theodulus (Died 309) Martyr of Caesarea

Saint of the Day – 17 February – St Theodulus (Died 309) Martyr of Caesarea in Palestine. He confessed Christ with great constancy and love and was granted the grace of dying as his Master had done.

The Roman Martyrology reads today: “At Caesarea in Palestine, Theodulus, an aged man in the service of the Governor, Firmilian, Moved by the example of the Martyrs, he confessed Christ with constancy, was fastened to a cross and thus by a noble victory, merited the Palm of Martyrdom.

Theodulus was a member of the household of the governor of Palestine. When the governor learned of Theodulus’s Christianity, he ordered his execution.
