Auxentius

Venerable Auxentius was a monk of Cyprus, unknown to the synaxarists but known as a wonderworker in the Church of Cyprus. He was German by origin and, at the time of the Crusades, when the crusaders approached Cyprus, he became a monk with three hundred other soldiers (the Holy Alamanni). After going around the island, he came to a cave in the Karpasia region, between the villages of Komi Kepir and Eptakomi, where he lived in a way pleasing to God. A hymn says that the village in Karpasia rejoices to have the coffin of his holy relics. He is commemorated on 28 September, in the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style), together with Venerable Neophytos the Recluse of Cyprus.
