Life
Saint George was the first abbot and the founder of the Monastery of Saint John Chrysostom in Cyprus.
His commemoration is unknown in the catalogue of the saints of Cyprus. He is known from the Typikon of the monastery, kept in the National Library of France (codex Coislin 402). According to the Typikon, the monastery was built in the year 1091, and the church was consecrated on 9 December, the feast of Saint Anna. The source adds that the patriarch of Jerusalem placed the Chrysostom monastery, also called that of Koutsoventis, under his authority.
George is commemorated on 11 April, according to the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style). His veneration is local, in Cyprus.
