Life
Hilarion the Archontaris was a monk and archontaris (guestmaster) of the Monastery of Dionysiou on Mount Athos, who reposed in 1905 and is venerated by the faithful without synodal canonization. The Russian Orthodox Encyclopedia counts him among the known elders of Dionysiou at the beginning of the twentieth century, with whose names stories of healings and of the salvation of souls are associated. The archontaris is the monk in charge of receiving guests. No other facts of his life are kept in the source we have.
