Life
Venerable Leontius the Shepherd is commemorated on 18 June (new style) in the Greek synaxarion.
The synaxarion says nothing of the place or time of his life. A short verse notes that, having been a shepherd, he now stands before the Chief Shepherd, Christ, and the entry adds that he reposed in peace.
