Life
Holy Venerable Gregory the Byzantine (Drimis) was a native of Byzantium and struggled on Mount Athos, in the Lavra of Venerable Athanasius (commemorated on 5 July). He was the spiritual guide of Saint Gregory Palamas († about 1360, commemorated on 14 November).
The calendar we rely on gives no other details of his life. He is commemorated on 4 July (new style, a movable day), in the Synaxis of the Venerable Fathers of Athos, and his memory appears also in the Athonite Paterikon.
