Life

Holy Hierarch Therapon of Alamania was bishop of Alamania in Cyprus. He is commemorated in the Greek calendar on 14 October (new style), among the venerable saints Gregory, bishop of Assos (Mytilene), Ignatius of Methymna, John, bishop of Damascus, and Nicholas the Simple.

The sources consulted do not say when he shepherded his flock nor what he did as a hierarch. The name of Alamania returns in the calendar on 17 September, in the list of the saints who came from Palestine to Cyprus, which suggests that the see was tied to that circle of ascetics.
