Life
Holy Venerable Evarestus of Stoudios was born in Galatia, of noble parents, and from youth desired the monastic life; he especially loved to read the books of Saint Ephraim the Syrian. Withdrawn to the Stoudios Monastery, he laboured in strict fasting, vigil and prayer, wearing iron chains.
He peacefully passed to the Lord at the age of seventy-five, in the year 825. The Synaxarion commemorates him on 8 January (new style).
