Life

Saint Mamas the Venerable is commemorated on 3 May (new style, the calendar of the Church of Greece) in the list of the venerable fathers Theodosius, Mamas, Philip, Michael and Arsenius. The Greek calendar also remembers him on 6 May, with Hilarion and Pachomius, after Saint Seraphim of Mount Domvou (who reposed in 1602).

The sources consulted do not make clear whether it is the same person and give no details about his place, time or life, and in the list "Philip" is the name of another venerable father, not a place.
