Life
Venerable John the Confessor was abbot of the Monastery of Patelaria and is commemorated on 3 August (new style) in the Greek synaxarion.
The synaxarion preserves no details of his life, nor of how he confessed the faith. A short verse says that, in keeping with his calling, he proved a worthy dwelling of divine grace.
