Life

Venerable Martyr Neophytos of Lipsi, called in the second entry "the other Neophytos", belongs to the same company of five venerable martyrs of Lipsi, commemorated together on the Sunday after 10 July. To this company belong the monk Neophytos of Amorgos († 1558), Jonah of Leros († 1561), Jonah Garbis of Nisyros († 1635) and Parthenius of Philippopolis († 1696), killed by the Turks, and the monk Neophytos († 8 December 1609), who fell at the hands of pirates. Standing under the same name, the page does not say which of the two Neophytoi is the present one and gives nothing else about him. The commemoration is kept on 11 July, a movable day, in the new style.
