The first consequence of the participation in the struggle was the interruption of the massive reconstruction work. However, a much more dramatic consequence was that at least four monks of the monastery – Chrysanthos, Neofytos, Isaac and Xenofontos, whose names were recorded in the monastery's Prothesis prayer book and in other sources of the time – were martyred in Konstantinople and Thessaloniki in 1821 in 1822. They are also mentioned in Dositheus of Kostamonitou's work on new martyrs written in 1855. In fact, the holy monk Chrysanthos was martyred in Konstantinople on Easter Sunday (10 April 1821), the same day the Patriarch of Konstantinople Gregory V was hanged from the gate of the Patriarchate.
