Epaphroditus was a first-century Christian missionary and an envoy sent by the church in Philippi to assist the Apostle Paul. Mentioned in the New Testament, he traveled to support Paul during his imprisonment, serving as a fellow worker and messenger. While his specific biographical details are limited, he is recognized for his dedicated service to the early Christian community. Some traditions identify him as the first bishop of several locations, including Philippi, Andriaca, or Terracina, though historical evidence for these specific roles remains uncertain.
