Life
Venerable Pachomius struggled in a deserted place, together with Venerable Hilarion and Mamas, and is commemorated with them on 6 May. He is not to be confused with Saint Pachomius the Great (15 May).
The three venerable men spent their monastic life in fasting, vigil and good works, living in harmony of soul and with a clear conscience, and they departed in peace to the Lord. Their commemorative gathering was held at the place called Oxeiai. Other details of his life have not been preserved.
