Life
Holy Venerable Irenaeus is known only by a name. The time and place of his life are unknown. His commemoration appears in several Byzantine calendars of the tenth to twelfth centuries, mostly in the menologia that form part of Gospel books. The fact that in one of them he is called venerable makes it hard to identify him with any saint of the same name.
He is commemorated on 13 January, according to the Byzantine calendars. He is not included in the present calendar of the Russian Orthodox Church.
