Life
Venerable Leo the Naked is commemorated on 1 July (new style) in the calendar of the Church of Greece, alongside the venerable Peter the Patrician and Basil, the abbot who founded the venerable Monastery of Bathys Ryax.
No details of his life have survived, only the epithet, the Naked, which points to an ascetic life of great self-renunciation.
