Born in Euchaita in Pontus, he rose to become a general in the Roman army and was known not only for his military prowess but for his exceptional compassion, his care for the poor and his gentle treatment of those under his command. He is celebrated for his defeat of a monstrous serpent that was terrorising the city of Heraclea on the Black Sea, which he accomplished through prayer and the sign of the Cross rather than by military might alone. He was arrested for publicly breaking pagan idols in protest against the persecution of Christians and was tortured and crucified before being executed around 319 AD during the reign of Licinius. His feast day is celebrated in February and in June.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The Lord is a warrior; the Lord is his name.\" (Exodus 15:3)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eO holy great martyr Theodore the General, noble soldier of Christ and destroyer of the serpent through the power of the Cross, intercede before the Lord for all soldiers and military commanders and for all who must stand against the powers of evil in whatever form they take.
