Byzantine Saints: Saint Sampson the Hospitable of Constantinople (27 June)

About this sermon

St. Samson the Hospitable is one of the Church's greatest examples of Christian charity, hospitality, and sacrificial love. Born into wealth in Rome, he gave away everything he owned to care for the sick before moving to Constantinople, where God blessed his ministry with miraculous healings. Ordained to the priesthood and known for his compassion, St. Samson even healed Emperor Justinian. Instead of accepting riches, he asked the emperor to establish a hospice for the poor, travelers, and the suffering—a lasting monument to Christian mercy. Discover the remarkable life of this physician, priest, miracle worker, and saint whose legacy of mercy continued even after his death through countless miracles.
