His body, undamaged by fire, was buried in the city of Evkhaitakh, later the relics were transferred to Constantinople.

Fifty years after Theodore's death, the emperor Julian the Apostate ordered the mayor of Constantinople to sprinkle all food supplies in the markets with idolized blood during the first week of Great Lent. Saint Theodore, appearing in a dream to the archbishop, ordered to announce to all Christians that no one should buy anything in the markets, but eat boiled wheat with honey.
