The Holy Martyr Eubulus of Caesarea

Life

Eubulus was a martyr of Caesarea in Palestine and, by the accounts, the very last to suffer in the great persecution there, about the year 309. He is commemorated on February 3, together with the Martyr Adrian, his companion.

By the accounts he had gone to Caesarea to visit and comfort the Christians held in prison, and there he was arrested by the governor Firmilianus. He was given over to the wild beasts and at the last was slain by the sword, and so received the crown of martyrdom.
