Life
Holy New Martyr Cosmas suffered at Constantinople, not long after the fall of the city (1453), for his faith in Christ. At the order of Patriarch Maximus III (1478-1481), the Great Rhetor of the Great Church, Manuel, composed for him a sung service and a canon, preserved in Codex 512 of the Iviron Monastery on Athos. His day of commemoration is not known. He belongs to the synaxis of the new martyrs after the fall of Constantinople.
