Life
Holy Hierarch Acacius of Sitia (also called Isaac) was bishop of Sitia in Crete. He is commemorated in the Greek calendar on 21 September (new style), together with Saint Meletius, Bishop of Sitia, Saint Jonah the Sabaite and Saint Demetrius the Russian.
The calendar enters him among the venerable saints, as a hierarch of Crete. The sources consulted do not say when he shepherded his flock nor what he did as bishop; what remains is the name, kept in the list of the day.
