Agapius of Vifar

Saint Agapius of Vifar struggled near the city of Vifar, on the seashore, or near the city of Tabor. He was granted a vision of paradise. He is commemorated on 1 June (19 or 20 May in the Greek tradition). His name is not included in the present calendar of the Russian Orthodox Church.

His Greek life has not been published. A short life was translated into Slavonic in the twelfth century, in the Prologue of Constantine of Mokisios. The commemoration with its verse was translated in the first half of the fourteenth century, apparently by Serbs on Athos, in the Verse Prologue and in the service Menaia. In the sixteenth century the short life with the verse was entered under 19 May in the Great Menaia.
