Gregory Domesticus

Holy Venerable Gregory Domesticus (the Domestic, that is the chief cantor and choir director) was a monk of the Great Lavra on Mount Athos. The calendar page we rely on gives no life of him, only the day of commemoration and the titles of some writings about him: Venerable Gregory, Domestic in the Great Lavra of Athos, and the Commemoration of Venerable Gregory, Domestic of the Great Church, from the Athonite Paterikon. For that reason nothing certain can be said here about his origins, his years or his labours.

He is commemorated on 4 July (new style, a movable day), in the Synaxis of the Venerable Fathers of Athos.
