Saint Theodore of Tyre was a great martyr of the Christian Church, originally from Amasia of Pontus. He received the name Tyron because he served in the Order of Tyrone of the Roman army. Theodore lived at the time when the emperor Diocletian ordered sacrifices to idols. As a Christian, the Saint refused deals to take part in the sacrifices and vigorously confessed his faith in Christ.
When Theodore destroyed a wooden idol of the goddess Rhea, he was arrested by the local ruler. The ruler ordered the soldiers to flogg and imprison the Saint without give him food or water. The Saint, however, remained steadfast in his faith, as a result of which he suffered horrible tortures. Eventually, he died as a martyr in a furnace.

Great are the achievements of faith! In the fountain of flame, as by the water of rest, the holy Martyr Theodore rejoiced; for having been made a whole-burnt offering in the fire, he was offered as sweet bread unto the Trinity. By his prayers, O Christ God, save our souls.
