Venerable Martyr
Moses
the Anchorite
An anchorite who suffered for Christ, commemorated in the Greek synaxarion.
Life
Saint Moses the Anchorite fell asleep in peace.
The verse of the synaxarion says that Moses went up the mountain of the virtues and there died, like Moses on the mountain. The calendar commemorates him on 28 June among the martyrs Donagus, Macedonius and Pappias, but the Greek synaxarion speaks of no martyrdom of his, only of a peaceful death. No other details of his life, or of the place or time in which he lived, are preserved. His commemoration follows the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style).
