Life
Holy Venerable Leontius of Athos is one of the two venerable Leontii who lived in ascetic struggle on the Holy Mountain of Athos, commemorated together on 26 October (new style).
The list of the day enters both under the names "Leontius and Leontius, those of Athos", beside the venerable saints Basil and Joasaph, the martyr of 1536. The synaxarion preserves no details of their lives. On 18 June the calendar also commemorates a Leontius the Myrrh-gusher of Argos, who struggled on Athos; the sources consulted do not say whether he is one of the two.
