Life
Saint Apollos lived in the time of the Emperor Julian the Apostate (361-363) and from his youth embraced the monastic life in Egypt. The Greek synaxarion says that his life was written by Saint Jerome. He struggled in the desert, and God deemed him worthy to reach great heights of holiness, granting him the gift of foresight and that of working miracles. He reposed in peace.
He is commemorated on 25 January, by the church calendar of the Church of Greece.
