Venerable Gregory abandoned wealth and embraced monasticism, wandering through Thessalonica and beyond, enduring persecution for defending icons against heresy. He performed miracles, healing the sick and casting out demons, all while steadfastly preaching truth. In his final days in Constantinople, he reposed peacefully, a beacon of faith.

O, #VenerableGregory, intercede for us, that we may be strengthened to defend the True Faith!
