Saint of the Day – 18 March – Saint Eucarpius (Died c304) Martyr and Soldier of Nicomedia. After being sent to pursue Christians and arrest them, St Eucarpius himself became a Christian so glorious was the testimony of these brave soldiers of Christ. He then, in turn, was hunted, arrested and killed by being burned alive.
The Roman Martyrology reads today: “At Nicomedia, also, the holy Martyrs, Tropbius and Eucarpius.”
St Eucarpius had been a pagan soldier in the Imperial Roman Army and was stationed in Nicomedia (in modern Turkey).
Being assigned to hunt and pursue Christians during the persecutions of Diocletian, he came to know them and the faith so well that he converted to the True Faith of Christ.
Arrested and sentenced to death he was burned alive in Nicomedia.
Passionate Catholic.

Prayer is what the world needs combined with the example of our lives which testify to the Light of Christ.

This Site is placed under the Patronage of my many favourite Saints and especially, St Paul.
"For the Saints are sent to us by God
as so many sermons.
We do not use them, it is they who move us
and lead us, to where we had not expected to go.”
