Jonah of Lipsi

Holy Venerable Martyr Jonah of Lipsi was born on the island of Leros and received a martyr's death in 1561 on the island of Lipsi in the Aegean Sea. On that island lay metochia, that is, dependent estates and settlements, of the monastery of Saint John the Theologian on Patmos.

Little is known about him. The only source that says he was put to death by the Turks is the memorial book of the Patmos monastery, called the Vravion, a Greek word meaning "reward". From 1552 it recorded the names of the monastery's departed brethren. According to another view, the name comes from the Latin breve, meaning "a short list".

He is commemorated on the Sunday after 10 July, with the day entered in the calendar at 11 July (new style), together with the other martyrs of Lipsi.
