Saint Lazaros of Mount Galesios ({{Lang-gr|Λάζαρος ὁ Γαλησιώτης}}, Lazaros ho Galēsiōtēs; {{circa|972/981}} – 7 November 1053) was an 11th-century Byzantine monk and stylite, who founded a monastic community at Mount Galesios near Ephesus.

Life

Lazaros was born near Magnesia to a peasant family, and his original name was Leo (Λέων). The exact date of his birth is unknown; traditionally it has been calculated at {{circa|972}}, but a reference in a manuscript (Moscow, Hist. Mus. 369/353, fol. 220) records that he died at the age of 72, hence that he was born in {{ca|981}}.{{sfn|Kazhdan|1991|p=1198}}

After finishing his elementary schooling, he left his home and went to Attaleia to become a monk. Later he went to the famed Lavra of Saint Sabas in Palestine, before returning to his home region.{{sfn|Kazhdan|1991|p=1198}} He founded three monasteries at Mount Galesios near Ephesus, while he himself became a stylite and lived in a pillar. The monks in the monastic communities Lazaros founded lived in individual cells, rather than the cenobitic monasticism of most monasteries; they were even allowed to earn their own income through practicing a handicraft.{{sfn|Kazhdan|1991|p=1198}}

Hagiography

Lazaros's hagiography was written by his disciple, the kellarites Gregory; and reworked by the Patriarch of Constantinople, Gregory II of Cyprus, in the late 13th century.{{sfn|Kazhdan|1991|p=1198}} According to the description of Alexander Kazhdan, the hagiography "has few supernatural miracles but many vignettes rich in everyday details: the young Lazaros escaped sexual seduction in the house of a girl whom he accompanied to Chonae; Lazaros's corpse, with the help of the monk Cyril, signed the diatyposis for the monks; many thefts and quarrels, travels, and visits are described. Gregory focuses on local events, while Constantinople is depicted as a remote city teeming with danger".{{sfn|Kazhdan|1991|p=1198}}
