Life
Holy Confessor Gregory the New was bishop of Panion, in the region of Heraclea in Thrace, and is honoured as a confessor of the faith. His memory appears in Patmos codex 266 without any biography. All that is known is that he lived in the time of the struggle against the holy icons and died confessing the right faith.
The see "Panidos" named in the synaxarion is not found anywhere; it may be Panion, which lay in Heraclea of Thrace. He is commemorated on 19 July, in the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style).
