Saint Tryphillius of Leucosia
June 13
St. Anthony of Padua is remembered every June 13. However, many more Saints are inscribed in the martyrology for that date.
Saint Triphyllius was born in Constantinople in the early fourth century. He was educated in law at the school of Beirut. He converted to Christianity and was named bishop of Nicosia. Triphyllius was a follower of Saint Spyridon of Trimythous. He was also an ardent supporter of St. Athanasius of Alexandria against the Arians, and consequently he was persecuted by them. St. Jerome considered him one of the most eloquent Church figures of the era. He is remembered on June 13.
