George the Sweet

George the Sweet was Archbishop of Thessaloniki, probably in the 1020s. Nothing is known of his life except that he is mentioned in the Synodikon of Thessaloniki, a post-⁠Byzantine document listing the hierarchs of the city. His appearance there shows he was regarded as an Orthodox hierarch, since no heterodox are listed.

A fresco of him is in the sanctuary of the katholikon of Vatopedi Monastery on Athos, on the right side, dated 1312. He is depicted beardless, which may indicate that he was a eunuch. The reason seems to be that he was for a time a monk in a cell of Vatopedi. That he is shown with a halo means he was seen as a holy man of God, which is why he is commemorated on 10 July, the Synaxis of All Saints of Vatopedi.
