  January 26, Venerable, Ξενοφών

  St. Xenophon was a devout and wealthy man of Constantinople in the sixth century, who with his wife Mary raised their two sons, Arkadios and John, in the fear of God. When the young men were shipwrecked on a voyage to their studies, each was saved without the other's knowledge, and each in gratitude took up the monastic life in the Holy Land.
