Life

Venerable Cosmas Chrysostomatos was a monk of the Monastery of Saint John Chrysostom in Cyprus, from which he took his byname. He lived a holy and ascetic life and reposed in peace.

His commemoration is entered in the monastery's Typikon (manuscript Coislin 402, f. 101, kept in the National Library of France), which says that on this day memorials are held for our venerable father Cosmas Chrysostomatos and for the presbyter and abbot Nikephoros. The Greek calendar (new style) commemorates him on 19 January, alongside Theodotus, bishop of Kyrenia, also a Cypriot.

Commemorated the same day January 19
