Life

Venerable Luke of Triglia, in Bithynia, is commemorated on 27 December (new style) in the Greek synaxarion, together with Saint Theodore the Inscribed (died 840) and Patriarch Theodore I of Constantinople.

He reposed in peace; he is thought to be the abbot of the Monastery of Bathys Ryax at Triglia. A verse of the synaxarion says that Luke, wisely lifted above the earth, now clearly delights in the vision of God.
