Apostle Onesiphorus of the Seventy


Commemorated on December 8


Saints Onesiphorus, Apollos, Cephas, Tychicus, Epaphroditus, Caesar, Apostles of the 70 were chosen and sent by the Lord Jesus Christ Himself to preach. They were chosen some time after the selection of the Twelve Apostles (Luke 10:1-24).


All of these saints departed peacefully to the Lord (they are also commemorated on March 30). The Church also remembers St Onesiphorus (September 7) with them.
