Ahaz

Saint Ahaz the Righteous is commemorated on 1 April in the Greek verse synaxaria and the printed Menaia, without a life; by the new calendar, on 14 April. The time in which he lived is not known. It is possible that he is the same as the Judean king Ahaz, but this is unlikely, because of the well-⁠known impious deeds of the latter.

In the Menaia used today in the Greek Churches, after the sixth ode of the canon of Matins, there is a verse synaxarion dedicated to the righteous Ahaz. His commemoration and verse were also entered in the Slavonic copies of the Verse Prologue and in the Great Menaia.
