Life
Saint Athanasius of Medikion was a monk of the Medikion monastery in Bithynia, a fellow struggler of Saint Nicetas. He reposed around the year 814. He is commemorated on 8 November.
Desiring the monastic life, he left home in secret, but his father brought him back by force. After some time, with his father's permission and his parents' blessing, he entered the Medikion monastery in Bithynia, where he laboured beside Saint Nicetas, commemorated on 3 April.
He was buried beside the monastery wall. A cypress tree grew on his grave, and by the grace of God healings came from this tree.
