Holy Martyr Eupsychius     9/20/2013

He was the son of the senator Dionisius. Severely tortured for Christ, by beating and scraping, and afterwards half-alive cast into prison. An angel of God appeared to him and healed him. Released from prison, he distributed all of his possessions: something to the poor, something to his slanderers. He was caught again and scraped until he gave up his soul to God. From his wounds instead of blood run milk and water. He suffered and died at the time of Emperor Hadrian.
