Your holy martyr Theodore, O Lord, through his suffering has received an incorruptible crown from You, our God. For having Your strength, he laid low his adversaries, and shattered the powerless boldness of demons. Through his intercessions, save our souls!

You appeared as a bright star announcing Christ with your radiance, which is repulsive to this world, O Martyr Theodore; extinguishing the allure of false gods, you enlighten the faithful, always interceding for us all.

Life of the Holy New Martyr Theodore the Byzantine
The Holy New Martyr Theodore was born of pious parents in Neochorion near Constantinople in 1774. He worked in the palace of the Sultan, where he converted to Islam. When a plague broke out in Constantinople, he realized the gravity of his sin and returned to Christianity. He went to Chios and then to Mytilene, where he confessed Christ before the Moslem authorities. He was imprisoned, tortured, then hanged by the Turks in 1795.
