Life
Saint Agapius the Athonite is counted in the list of Bulgarian saints among the venerable martyrs of the Holy Mountain from the time of Ottoman rule, alongside Cyril and Joasaph of Athos. The source gives neither the year, the place nor the manner of his death, nor the day of his commemoration.
So nothing more can be said than that the Bulgarian Orthodox Church honours him as an Athonite monk who suffered to the death for the faith.
