Moses

Saint Moses the Venerable is commemorated on 27 November (new style, the Greek calendar). He is unknown to the Synaxarion of Saint Nikodemos the Hagiorite and to the printed menaia. His commemoration appears briefly in the Parisian codex 1621, which says that he came from the city of Pharan.

He became a monk at a young age and lived eighty-⁠five years struggling on a mountain, in a cave, with strict fasting and prayer. He walked the ascetic path worthily and reposed in peace.
