Saint Evaristus or Euarestus, Pope, was also known as Aristus.
He was a Greek, born the son of Juda, a Bethlehem Hellenic Jew, himself born possibly in or near Antioch, Syria.[1] Evaristus was a Jew, born in Bethlehem. His father, Juda, was of Greek origin, but lived in Bethlehem, only a few miles from the temple in Jerusalem, the goal of all good Jews. Evidently, Juda moved his family from the town, probably just before the Romans destroyed Jerusalem in A.D. 70.
Evaristus was elected the fifth pope and bishop of Rome immediately succeeding Saint Clement sometime between A.D. 97 and 100, as the fourth successor of St. Peter. Little is known about Evaristus. He was elected during the reign of the Roman Emperor Domitian, the time of the second general persecution, or during the reign of Trajan, and governed the Church for about eight years. Pope Saint Evaristus was pope from about 98 to 105[2] It is likely that He was the Bishop of Rome when John the Apostle died, marking the end of the apostolic Age. Given the increase in the number of Christians, he divided the city of Rome into parishes. He founded the first seven diaconates entrusted to senior priests and this is considered to be the origin of the College of Cardinals. The "Liber Pontificalis" attributes to him the allotment of definite churches as tituli to the Roman presbyters, and the division of the city into seven diaconias or deaconries; in this statement, however, critics claim the "Liber Pontificalis" arbitrarily refers to the time of Evaristus a later institution of the Roman Church, on the a priori assumption that an hierarchical structure of ecclesiastical government in the orthodox catholic Christian church with bishops and priests did not exist and was impossible in the latter half of the first century through the first half of the second. This assumption has been challenged on the basis of historical documentation. See Epistles of Ignatius. Again by the appointment of Pope Evaristus marriages are to be blessed by the priest not without prayers and offerings.
He died sometime between 105 and 107 in Rome and was probably buried near Saint Peter. Other resources say he held the office of the papacy for nine years, dying in the year 112. He is usually accorded the title of martyr; however, there is no confirmation of this. He is venerated as a saint in the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Catholic Church, and Oriental Orthodoxy.
His feast day is October 6, his memorial is October 26.
Book III, Chapter XXXIV Euarestus, the Fourth Bishop of the Church at Rome
IN the third year of the above-mentioned reign, Clement, bishop of Rome, committed the episcopal charge to Euarestus, and departed this life, after superintending the preaching of the divine word nine years.
Book IV, Chapter I The Bishops of Rome and Alexandria, in the Reign of Trajan
ABOUT the twelfth year of the reign of Trajan, the bishop of the church of Alexandria, who was mentioned by us a little before, departed this life. Primus was the fourth from the apostles to whom the functions of the office were there allotted. At the same time also, after Euarestus had completed the eighth year as bishop of Rom, he was succeeded in the episcopal office by Alexander, the fifth in the succession from Peter and Paul.
