Life
Venerable Memnon, called the Wonderworker, is commemorated in the Orthodox Church on 19 May, in a second commemoration besides the one of 28 April, where his life is told. The verses of the Synaxarion say that after a brief sleep he met God, remaining steadfast, as his name shows.
Our sources give no other details of his life.
