Life

Saint Dometius is commemorated on 24 January (new style, the calendar of the Church of Greece) among the seven venerable fathers of the Philotheou monastery: its founder Philotheus, Theodosius, abbot and metropolitan of Trebizond, Dionysius and Symeon, Dometius the hesychast, Damian and Cosmas. The English calendar says that he was a hesychast at the Philotheou monastery on Mount Athos and a wonderworker, in the time after 1568.
