Serbian Orthodox Church - The Holy Martyr Theodotus of Ancyra

SerbianOrthodoxChurch.net

This martyr was a secret Christian and, as such, used to help the Church and give burial to the bodies of the martyrs. He buried the bodies of seven young maidens who had suffered for Christ. When the pagans discovered this, they attacked him and he was killed (see May 18th for more about him).
