Life
Saint Benjamin, a venerable monk, is remembered on 29 December together with Saints Athenodorus and Babylas. The synaxarion says that he fell asleep in peace; Saint Nicodemus the Hagiorite adds that he died of dropsy. A saying of his is preserved in the Evergetinos: "Walk the royal road, count the miles, and do not grow slack."
