Byzantine Saints: Venerable Lazarus, Wonderworker of Mount Galesius Near Ephesus (7 November)

About this sermon

Discover the inspiring life of Venerable Lazarus the Wonderworker of Mount Galesius, one of the great ascetics and holy fathers of the Orthodox Church. Born in 968 near Magnesia on the River Meander, Saint Lazarus (originally named Leo) lived a life of prayer, fasting, humility, and miracles — from his early devotion to his final years as a stylite near Ephesus. In this video, we recount his spiritual journey: his divine birth, education under holy mentors, love for the poor, pilgrimage to the Holy Land, and his years of ascetic struggle on the pillars of Mount Galesius. Learn how this wonderworker foretold his own death and left behind a spiritual legacy that continues to inspire monks and faithful Christians around the world. ✝️ Feast Day: November 7 🙏 Virtues: Obedience, Humility, Prayer, Fasting, Solitude ⏰ Timestamps 00:00 — Introduction: The Wonderworker of Mount Galesius 00:20 — Birth of Saint Lazarus (Leo) and miraculous signs 00:47 — Early education and love of prayer 01:20 — Zeal for holiness and compassion for the poor 01:50 — Desire to visit the Holy Land and early trials 02:50 — Monastic life and the name “Lazarus” 03:40 — Ascetic struggles and obedience 04:50 — Life as a stylite (pillar-dwelling monk) 05:50 — Miracles, teaching, and his disciples 06:50 — Spiritual wisdom and divine revelations 07:40 — Prophecy of his death and final years 08:10 — Falling asleep in the Lord (November 8, 1054) 08:40 — Legacy and veneration of Saint Lazarus https://www.oca.org/saints/lives #SaintLazarus #OrthodoxSaints #Wonderworker #ByzantineMonk #Stylite #Ephesus #ChristianSaints #LivesOfTheSaints #OrthodoxFaith #DesertFathers #SpiritualLife #SaintsOfNovember #VenerableLazarus #HolyFathers #SensusFidelium 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
