Life
Damian was a monk of the Monastery of Dionysiou on Mount Athos, who reposed in 1902 and is venerated by the faithful without synodal canonization. The Russian Orthodox Encyclopedia counts him among the known elders of Dionysiou at the beginning of the twentieth century, with whose names stories of healings and of the salvation of souls are associated. The encyclopedia names him together with the monk Theodoret, who reposed in the same year. No other facts of his life are kept in the source we have.
