February 21st St. Eustathius of Antioch

Post by Denise »

St. Eustathius was born in 270 AD in Turkey in Europe and died in 337 AD in Antioch, Turkey

St. Eustathius of Antioch was noted for his eloquence in his defence for Christianity. He was the bishop of Beroea in Syria and later transferred to be the Bishop of Antioch in Turkey in 324 AD.

Eustathius fought Arianism and assisted the General Council of Nice. He was later exiled by the then emperor Constantine the Great for opposing Arianism.
