December 08: Saint Eutychian 

Saint Eutychian was born in Looney. His Papacy began on 4 January 275.  It was the pope who suggested that the remains of the martyrs be covered with ‘dalmatic’ (a special robe similar to the colored robes worn by the Roman emperors). He also initiated rituals to bless the lamps.

Administrative decentralization increased the official supremacy of the papacy. It was a time when the power of the Roman pope became more widespread and powerful. The tendency to live in hiding has changed for Christians. They no longer need to worship in underground tombs. Beautiful churches were built in all the major centers. The church was recognized as a unified and organized social reality. Many of the members were socially recognized and powerful. The Pope’s period was generally peaceful. He died on 7 December.
