Biography

Evaristus is a saint of the Orthodox and Catholic Churches who was reportedly martyred with nine companions near Gortyn, Crete, in 250, during the reign of Emperor Decius (249–251). The other martyrs were Theodulus, Saturninus, Euporus, Gelasius, Eunician, Zoticus, Pompius (or Cleomenes), Agathopus, and Basilides. The group has remained known as the Ten Saints, the Ten Martyrs of Crete, or Evaristus and his companions.
