Life

Saint Zeno left the world and became a disciple of the great elder Silvanus.

For his surpassing obedience, his perfect asceticism and his lack of possessions, God made him worthy to work miracles, and he drove many demons out of people. So, having spent his life in struggle and contests, he fell asleep in peace, at the age of 62. In the calendar he is commemorated on 19 June together with the venerable Paisius the Great, according to the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style).

Commemorated the same day June 19
