Sts. Dorotheus, Bishop of Tyre & Cosmas, an Armenian Priest (June 5)

The Holy Martyr Dorotheus, Bishop of Tyre. 



Dorotheus was Bishop of Tyre from the time of Diocletian to the time of Julian the Apostate under whom he was tortured and suffered for the Orthodox Faith. He lived on earth one hundred seven years and, pleasing God, he took up habitation in life eternal in the year 361 A.D. Dorotheus was a very educated man and wrote many instructive works in Greek and Latin. Especially famous is his Greek-Latin Syntagma.
