Saint Eustathios the Confessor, Bishop of Kios in Bithynia.
St. Eustathios was Bishop of Kios in Bithynia in the ninth century. For his defense of the holy icons he was persecuted by the iconoclasts, deprived of his see and subjected to hunger and exile.
He reposed after many years of suffering, and the Church honors him as a confessor on March 29.
