Life
Venerable Roman the Sinaite was a monk on Mount Sinai and is a saint of the Serbian Orthodox Church. He lived in the second half of the fourteenth century. Little is known about his life.
He was one of the Sinaite monks who came to Serbia in the time of Prince Lazar. His relics are today in the Monastery of Saint Roman, near Đunis.
The sources we have do not give the day of his commemoration and say nothing of his ascetic labours.
