Life
Venerable Timothy the Confessor was a confessor of our faith and reposed in peace. He is commemorated on 1 February (new style) in the Greek synaxarion, alongside the venerable Peter of Galatia and Antony the Hermit.
A verse of the synaxarion says that Timothy shared the honour above, having preferred nothing to the honour of God below. No other details of his life have survived in the source consulted.
