Zeno

Saint Zeno is counted among the saints of the Church of Cyprus and is regarded as bishop of Kyrenia.

The Cypriot chronicler Leontios Machairas calls him "the most holy bishop of the people of Kyrenia", and Delehaye also places him among the saints of Cyprus. In the Synaxarion of Constantinople, on 12 June, "the venerable Zeno and Trifyllios the bishop" are mentioned, without further comment. Trifyllios (13 June) is the well-⁠known bishop of Nicosia of the fourth century, but it is not certain whether the Zeno commemorated with him is the same as Zeno of Kyrenia. In Cyprus another saint of this name is also venerated, Bishop Zeno of Kourion, who, with Reginus of Constantia and Evagrius of Soloi, defended the autocephaly of the Church of Cyprus at the Third Ecumenical Council in Ephesus (431) and signed its acts.

He is commemorated on 12 June, according to the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style). His veneration is local, in Cyprus.
