In Eastern Christianity, a passion bearer (Russian: страстотéрпец, romanized: strastoterpets, IPA: [strəstɐˈtʲɛrpʲɪts]) is one of the various customary saint titles used in commemoration at divine services when honouring their feast on the Church Calendar; it is not generally used by Latin Catholics,[1] but it is used within the Eastern Catholic Churches.[2]
