Life

Saint Amonathas the Venerable is commemorated on 12 December (new style, the Greek calendar). The synaxarion says of him only that he reposed in peace. A verse puts on his lips, as he departs, the plea to the angels to receive him, since he hates earthly things.

Place, time and other details of his life are not preserved.
