Life

Saint Mnemonius was bishop of Amathus in Cyprus in the fourth and fifth centuries, and a wonderworker.

He ordained Saint Tychon (commemorated on the same day) a deacon, and almost nothing else is known of him beyond what is said in the life of Tychon. Mnemonius and Tychon are commemorated together on 16 June, according to the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style), as the wonder-⁠working bishops of Amathus. Their veneration is local, in Cyprus.
