Helladius and Theophilus

Helladius and Theophilus (Greek: Έλλάδιος & Θεόφιλος) were two Christian martyrs in Libya, killed by being thrown into a furnace. Helladius was a layman (Ελλάδιος ο λαϊκός) and Theophilus a deacon (Θεόφιλος ο Διάκονος). The Roman Martyrology and Eastern Christianity's Synaxarium give their feast as 8 January.
