Life

Onuphrius of Panaia was a hermit of Calabria in southern Italy, who died in 995. He is honored as a saint and remembered on 4 August, at Panaia.

Our sources are very brief. They show him only as a Calabrian hermit, reposed in the year 995, and give his remembrance on 4 August. We have no other details of his life, the place where he lived or his relics.

He is a local saint of the West, of the undivided Church, probably from the Italo-⁠Greek monastic milieu of Calabria; no Orthodox synodal canonization is known. The information is very scant.
