The saint behind the name
Eusebios of Samosata
June 22, Hierarch, Ευσέβιος
St. Eusebios, Bishop of Samosata, was one of the great champions of the Nicene faith in the fourth century, a friend and fellow struggler of St. Basil the Great. In the years when Arianism held the empire, he traveled through the East, tradition says even in disguise, strengthening the faithful and ordaining Orthodox clergy, and for this he was driven into exile under the emperor Valens.
