Saint Hilarion The New, Abbot of the Dialon Monastery
Saint Hilarion was born in 775 AD and came from Cappadocia. His father, Peter, who was a supplier of the palaces of the palaces and his mother Theodosia, were pious and virtuous people and nourished their young son with the Namas of Orthodox faith.
When he reached adulthood, craving the way of virtue and exercise, he went to the Monastery of Xeronissia, in Constantinople, where he devoted his soul and body to exercise, strict fasting, silence and the study of the Divine Scriptures. He later went to the Dalma Monastery, where he became a great deal.
There he remained a decade as a gardener and quickly became an example of exercise, humility and greed for all the brothers, who was raised by the abbot of the monastery.
When the storm of Iconoclasm broke out, Emperor Leo Armenian, with the disgusting Patriarch Theodotus Melissenos, unsuccessfully attempted to bend the vigilance of Hosios. He stood up his spiritual stature and stood at the height of the circumstances. Then his relentless persecution began.
For eight whole years, he suffered unknowingly and with miraculous curtain restrictions on remote monasteries, imprisonments, beatings and exile. But he withstood all the suffering of “as a good soldier of Jesus Christ”, thanking and glorifying the Graduate Lord, who claimed to remain unhappy in the battlefields of the struggle.
After the triumph of Orthodoxy, he returned to his monastery, lived for three more years, and peacefully at the age of 70, in 845 AD.
