St. Luke of Steiris

c. 896–953 · Hosios Loukas, Boeotia · Feast February 7

Luke was the son of refugees from Aegina who settled in central Greece. He became a hermit on Mount Ioannitsa and later near Steiris, and he had the gifts of healing and prophecy, foretelling the Byzantine recovery of Crete. After his death his tomb drew so many pilgrims that the great monastery of Hosios Loukas was built over it.
