Life

Saint Makarios the Venerable was bishop of Paphos in Cyprus and reposed in peace in the year 1688. The Church commemorates him on 25 October (new style, in the Church of Cyprus) and, according to the Greek synaxarion, once more in February.

A verse of the synaxarion says that the president of Paphos was hidden in a grave and that Makarios, the blessed, did not bear his name in vain. No further details of his ministry are preserved in the sources consulted.
