Eustace— “happy in harvest”
It remains somewhat doubtful whether Eustace should be referred to Εὐστᾶθηος (steadfast), or to Εὔσταχος (happy in harvest). The Eostafie, or Eustathius, of the Greco-Slavonic Church, certainly has the same festival-day (September 20th) as the Eustachius of the Latin; but the Latin Church has _likewise_ a St. Eustachius, a different personage with a different day.
