Gregory

Holy Hieromartyr Gregory was from Thebes and was a parish priest of the Great Church in Constantinople, then bishop of the Metropolis of Nea Patras (Hypati). He was killed in 1711 in the church of the Metropolis, at the Holy Table, on the eve of the Akathist, while holding the chalice in his hand. Many Christians from the villages were present, the killers being local people of another faith. His memory is unknown to the synaxaria. He is honoured together with the other saints of Phthiotis, and his icons are recent. He is remembered on 22 March.
