Life

Holy Venerable Onesimus of Magnesia was a wonderworker of the fourth century, who founded a monastery in Magnesia, in Asia Minor.

The Azbyka page says that he suffered for Christ under Diocletian and that he died in Asia Minor, at Magnesia. No further facts about his life are preserved in this source. His memory is kept on 27 July, in the new style.
