Life
Saint Photas fell asleep in peace.
The verse of the synaxarion says that the lights of his virtues show him to all, even when dead, as a great luminary. No other details of his life, or of the place or time in which he lived, are preserved. He is commemorated on 6 June, according to the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style), beside Attalus the Wonderworker.
