Life

Venerable Theophanes the New of Dochiariou, the wonderworker, was a monk of Docheiariou Monastery on Mount Athos and reposed in peace in the fifteenth century. His wonderworking relics rest on Mount Naousa (Nausa), in Macedonia, and according to the faithful God still works great miracles through them.

The sources consulted say no more about his life, but the Church honours him as one of the Athonite saints of the age after the fall of Constantinople. He is commemorated on 19 August (new style).
