Martyrs

The ‘chorus’ of saints of the Monastery includes the great martyrs Chrysanthos, Neofytos, Isaak and Xenofon, who were ‘sacrifices on the altar of faith’ during the first years of the Greek Revolution for Independence.
It is likely that Damianos, the Treasurer of the Monastery, who was martyred – along with many clerics and elders of the city – under the Ottomon laws in Thessaloniki during a particular period, also belongs to this ‘chorus’.
