Saint Epaphras

In the annals of the early Church, few figures burn with the quiet intensity of a devoted collaborator who labored tirelessly to establish the foundations of faith in the Lycus Valley. While the apostles themselves are often the focus of the narrative, it is the faithful disciples who carried the torch into the towns and villages that sustained the Gospel’s spread. One such man, a disciple of Saint Paul the Apostle, is remembered not for grand miracles or royal patronage, but for the relentless work of evangelization and the deep bond he shared with his spiritual father.
