Saint Kosmas of Aetolia was a Greek Orthodox hieromonk, hieromartyr, co-apostle and ethnogert. He was the most active and imposing figure of the modern Greek Martyrology. His memory lives on to this day. Saint Kosmas of Aitolos preached the obsession with the Orthodox faith. Love for God and love for neighbor are the two axes around which his teaching revolved most.
Saint Kosmas of Aetolia with his sermon provoked the wrath of the Jews of Epirus, who denounced him as an instrument of the Russians and an instigator of a Christian revolution against the Ottoman state in the Pasha of the region. Thus, while he was preaching the word of God in the village of Kolikodasi in Berati (today’s Berati in Albania) he was arrested on August 23, 1779 by order of the local ruler Kurt Pasha and the next day he was hanged from a tree on the banks of the river Apso. His body was thrown into the river, from where the vicar of the village retrieved it and buried it.
On April 20, 1961, the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople proclaimed Kosmas of Aetolia Saint of the Orthodox Church and designated his memory to be celebrated on August 24, the day of his martyrdom.
