Saint Theodore was born in the village of Sykeon. While in his mother's womb, his mother received a vision that her son would receive the grace of God. She wanted him to become a soldier, and even presented him with a golden belt at age six which signified her desire, but the Holy [[Great-martyr]] [[George the Trophy-bearer]]. instructed her to let her son grow and serve God.

St. Theodore also prophesied that the [[Orthodox Church]] would struggle through the [[Iconoclast]] [[heretic]] movement. After revealing this to [[Patriarch]] [[Thomas I of Constantinople|Thomas]], the holy Patriarch begged St. Theodore to pray that he would soon die, so that he would not witness the coming woe. Patriarch Thomas reposed in 610 with the saint's prayers, and St. Theodore also passed on to the Lord soon after.

:You were known to be sanctified from your earliest infancy.

:And as a man you joined the angelic choir.

:Therefore, Venerable Father, you have been shown to be a divine vessel of miracles.
