Venerable Eudokimos the Newly-Revealed of Vatopedi Monastery on Mount Athos.
Nothing is known of the earthly life of this monk of Vatopedi. In 1840, when the monastery's ossuary was being rearranged, his relics were found in a kneeling posture, fragrant and holding an icon of the Theotokos.
Because his name was unknown, the fathers called him Eudokimos, one well-pleasing to God, and he has been honored since as a newly-revealed saint of the Holy Mountain.

On the New Calendar, Eudokimos of Vatopedi is commemorated on October 5. Churches on the Old (Julian) Calendar keep the feast on October 18 of the civil calendar.
