The life of Tigrios and Eutropios
Eutropios was pressed under repeated scourging, his flesh torn and burned, to name those responsible, and would not, even as a young man of frail constitution; he died of his torments in prison, and it is said that as Christians carried his body away by night for burial, singing was heard from the sky above them. Tigrios endured his own severe torture and the dislocation of his limbs on the rack, and survived it, only to be exiled afterward to Mesopotamia for refusing communion with the bishop set over the church in Chrysostom's place. What became of him there in the end is not recorded, but the Church has always kept his memory among the martyrs, alongside his younger companion who did not survive.
