Life

Venerable John the Hermit is commemorated on 29 May (new style) in the calendar of the Church of Greece, together with two other hermits, Botus and Felix.

The sources consulted preserve nothing of his life: neither the place nor the time of his ascetic labours. We know only that the Church counts him among the venerable fathers who chose the life of a hermit.

He is venerated by the faithful without synodal canonization.
