Bishops of Cyprus

The Bishops of Cyprus, Saints Isaac and Meletios, shepherded the Church of Cyprus at different times; Isaac lived before Meletios. Both were pious and God-⁠fearing and served the people tirelessly, giving the poor all they had and comforting orphans, widows and the needy. They gave not only bread but also the word of faith, never ceasing to teach the divine words of Christ. For this God gave them the gift of working miracles. After healing many, Isaac ended his life in martyrdom, by beheading, while Meletios fell asleep in peace at an advanced age.

They are remembered together on 21 September, by the calendar of the Church of Cyprus. The Synaxarion of Constantinople remembers Meletios on 20 September and Isaac on the 21st, and the Menologion of Basil II says that both reposed in peace.
