Life

Venerable Ignatius of Steiris (the Steironite) is commemorated on 26 July in the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style), together with Venerables Gerontius and Symeon the archimandrite. The sources preserve no account of his life. All that his name suggests is a connection with Steiris in Greece.

Commemorated the same day July 26
