Leo

Holy Martyr Leo suffered for Christ on the coast of the city of Myra in Lycia, confessing his faith by a martyr's death. The verses of the synaxarion say that he contended beside the sea and found in heaven a sea of good things.

The Greek synaxarion notes that his existence, the details of his life and the day of his commemoration are not confirmed by other sources; he may be the same as the Leo commemorated in February. The Church honours him on 18 August (new style).
