Life

Saint Michael the Wonderworker is commemorated on 1 May.

He is unknown in the Greek synaxaria and in the Menaia. A service dedicated to him, for 1 May, is found in Paris codex no. 1574 (f. 153a), where his ascetic virtues are praised, as well as the wonder-⁠working grace that flowed from his tomb. No other details of his life, or of the place and time in which he lived, are preserved. His commemoration follows the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style).
