Life
Holy Venerable Leontius the Clairvoyant (Leontius the Hagiorite) was born at Argos in the Peloponnese and practised asceticism for a long time on the Holy Mountain, at Dionysiou Monastery. In the sixty years he spent in the monastery he never left it. For his deep faith and struggles he received from God the gift of foresight and prophecy. He fell asleep in the Lord on 16 March 1605, at the age of eighty-five. His holy relics were glorified by the flowing of healing myrrh.
