Life
Saint Luke the Hermit fell asleep in peace.
The verse of the synaxarion says that Luke has passed away, but for those after him his words will sound in life like a trumpet. No other details of his life, or of the place or time in which he lived, are preserved. He is commemorated on 27 June, according to the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style), beside the venerable Sampson the Hospitable.
