Life
Papa-Lavrentios was a monk of the Monastery of Dionysiou on Mount Athos, who reposed in 1899 and is venerated by the faithful without synodal canonization. The Russian Orthodox Encyclopedia counts him among the known elders of Dionysiou at the end of the nineteenth century, with whose names stories of healings and of the salvation of souls are associated. The Greek title Papa usually marks a priest. No other facts of his life are kept in the source we have.
