Orthodox Calendar May 18, 2023. Holy Martyr Theodotus

Holy Martyr Theodotus He was an innkeeper during the reign of Emperor Diocletian. The monk sheltered the persecuted Christians in the inn. Christians who were able to escape persecution were helped in all their needs. Holy.

Theodotus collected and buried the bodies of the slain Christians.

At that time, there were seven virgins who were tortured for their faith in Jesus Christ. Finally they were thrown into a lake. One of them, Saint Tegusa, appeared to Saint Theodotus in a dream and told him to remove the bodies of the virgins from the lake and bury them.

After the dream he had, Theodotus went out with a believer to fulfill the wish the martyr had made in the dream. The angel of the Lord directed their steps to find where the bodies of the virgins were and bury them. The believer who accompanied St. Theodotus betrayed him before the judge.
