Martyr Eupsychius of Cæsarea in Cappadocia

Eupsychius came from a noble family of Caesarea in Cappadocia. In the reign of Emperor Julian the Apostate, while his wedding celebrations were still going on, he led a crowd of Christians against the temple of Tyche, the goddess of fortune, where Julian himself sacrificed when in the city, and tore it down.

The pagans reported this to Julian, who ordered Eupsychius tortured, and he was beheaded in 362. According to his Life, milk and water flowed from the wound instead of blood. Julian, on the way to war with Persia, threatened to level Caesarea; Basil, later called the Great, went out to meet him and offered him barley loaves. Julian mocked the gift and died on campaign soon after, and the city built a church over the martyr's tomb.
