The saint behind the name
Lazaros of Mount Galesion
November 7, Venerable, Λάζαρος
Venerable Lazaros of Mount Galesion was an ascetic of the eleventh century who, after years of pilgrimage and monastic labor in the Holy Land, settled on Mount Galesion near Ephesus. There he took up the harsh discipline of the stylites, living upon a pillar in prayer and fasting, and a community of monks gathered around him under his direction.
