Venerables John, Euthymius, George
and Gabriel of the Monastery Iviron 5/26/2013
All four venerables were the founders of the famous Iberian (Georgian) monastery on the Holy Mt. Athos. At first, St. John lived a life of asceticism in the Lavra (Monastery) of Athanasius and, after that, founded his monastery, Iviron. John died in the year 998 A.D. Euthymius and George translated the Holy Scripture into the Georgian language. Euthymius died in the year 1029 A.D. and George died in 1066 A.D. Gabriel was found worthy to receive the miracle-performing Icon of the Mother of God which arrived at the monastery by way of the sea.
