===Early Life===Saint EutychiosEutychius, Patriarch of [[Constantinople ]], was born in the province of Phrygia under the upbringing of well-known and pious parents. From a young age, the future [[saint ]] studied the sciences. It was during his studies that Saint Eutychios Eutychius realized how much more expansive God’s God's wisdom was in comparison to any science. After he realized this, he joined an Amesean [[monastery ]] to live his life unto the Lord.

The saint received approval from Patriarch Saint St. [[Mennas of Constantinople|Menas ]] to be his successor as Patriarch of Constantinople as Saint Menas grew ill. The [[Apostle Peter ]] also insisted that Saint Eutychios Eutychius became Patriarch patriarch in a vision before emperor [[Justinianthe Great]]. In 552, he was chosen Patriarch as patriarch of Constantinople.

===Years as Patriarch===In his first years as Patriarch patriarch of Constantinople, Saint Eutychios Eutychius called together the [[Fifth Ecumenical Council]], in which [[heresy|heresies ]] were anathematized[[anathema]]tized. He had much more trouble turning down battling the heresy of [[Aphthartodocetism]], or the belief that [[Jesus Christ ]] was imperishable and was not able to suffer while dying on the Cross, since Emperor Justinian was allegedly fooled by the teaching. The emperor grew angry with Saint Eutychios Eutychius and sent him into exile to an Amasean monastery in the year 565.

===Years of Exile===While living the [[asceticism|ascetic ]] life in exile, he continued to serve the Lord diligently and worked miraculous bodily healings and spiritual cleansings. The saint ensured that stored grain was never used up by praying to the Lord after Persians invaded and brought Amasea to ruins. Saint Eutychios Eutychius also has was granted the gift of prophecy, predicating predicting the successors of Emperor Justinian.

===Final Years of Life===After remaining in exile for 12 twelve years, Saint Eutychios, Patriarch of Constantinople, returned to his rightful position in 577. On [[April 6]], 582 , he called his clergy together as he reposed in peace. ==Hymns==[[Troparion]] ([[Tone]] 3) [http://oca.org/FStropars.asp?SID=13&ID=101008]:You lived like an angel on earth,:O Eutychius vessel of grace;:Your words and deeds confirmed the divine gift bestowed on you.:By your intercessions:Preserve the Church from all necessity. [[Kontakion]] - (one 8):Praising Eutychius in faith and godliness:Let us the faithful bless him in love:As a great shepherd, wise teacher, minister and expeller of heresies;:For he prays to the Lord for us all. ==External link==*[http://ocafs.oca.org/FeastSaintsLife.asp?FSID=101008 St Eutychius the Patriarch of Constantinople]- [[OCA]] Website {{start box}}{{succession|before=[[Mennas of Constantinople|Mennas]]|title=[[List of Patriarchs of Constantinople|Patriarch of Constantinople]]|years=552-565|after=[[John Scholasticus|John III]]}}{{succession|before=John III|title=Patriarch of Constantinople|years=577-582|after=[[John IV of Constantinople|John IV]]}}{{end box}} [[Category:Patriarchs of Constantinople]][[Category:Saints]][[Category:Byzantine Saints]][[Category:Bishops]][[Category:6th-century bishops]][[Category:Monastics]][[Category:6th-century saints]] [[ro:Eutihie de Constantinopol]]
