The holy, glorious, all-laudable '''Apostle Fortunatus''' of the [[Apostles#The_Seventy|Seventy]] is commemorated by the Church on [[June 15]] with [[Apostle Achaicus|Achaicus]] and [[Apostle Stephen the Protomartyr|Stephen]], and on [[January 4]] with the Seventy. The Seventy Apostles were chosen and sent forth to preach by [[Christ]] ([[Gospel of Luke |Luke]] 10:1).
St. Fortunatus is mentioned by St [[Apostle Paul|Paul]] in [[I Corinthians]] 16:17: ''I was glad when Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus arrived, because they have supplied what was lacking from you.''
