Venerable Euthimiusthe New     10/28/2013

He was born in Ancyra in 824, of devout parents called Epiphanius and Anna. He served in the army, then he married and had a daughter, Anastasia. He led a long and severe ascetic struggle at the monasteries on Mount Olympus, and then on Mount Athos. For some time he lived as a stylite near Thessalonica. Here, in the area of Thessalonica, he founded two monasteries, one men's and one women's monastery. He fell asleep in the Lord on Hiera, an island of Mount Athos, towards the end of the 9th century. His holy and wonderworking relics rest in Thessalonica.
