Neophytos of Lipsi

Venerable Martyr Neophytos of Lipsi is counted among the five venerable martyrs of Lipsi, who received a martyr's end on the island of Lipsi: the monks Neophytos from the island of Amorgos († 6 April 1558), Jonah from the island of Leros († 28 February 1561), Jonah Garbis from the island of Nisyros († April 1635) and Parthenius from Philippopolis (now Plovdiv, Bulgaria) († 1696) suffered at the hands of the Turks, while the monk Neophytos († 8 December 1609) suffered at the hands of pirates. The Azbyka page thus shows two monks named Neophytos, without saying anything else about either. Their commemoration is kept on 11 July, a movable day, on the Sunday after 10 July, in the new style.
