Life

Saint Plantinus of Raithu lived at Raithu, on the Sinai peninsula. His memory appears in the old Kanonarion of Jerusalem (on page 115), together with that of the venerable Irene and the venerable Marina of Raithu. The Greek synaxarion says nothing about their life or their time.

He is commemorated on 21 October, by the church calendar of the Church of Greece, on the same day as Irene and Marina.

Commemorated the same day October 21
