Saint Euschemon the Confessor, Bishop of Lampsakos.
St. Euschemon was Bishop of Lampsakos on the Hellespont in the ninth century. A friend and correspondent of St. Theodore the Studite, he suffered imprisonment and exile for his defense of the holy icons under the iconoclast emperor Theophilos.
He reposed in exile, and the Church honors him as a confessor on March 14.
