Who they were
At Constantinople, Saint Dius, called the Wonderworker, archimandrite, who, a native of Antioch, was ordained a priest in this city and founded a monastery under the rule of the Acoemetae.
The miracles
There was never a formal cause: he has been honoured as a saint since before the Church's formal processes began.
Why that counted as sanctity
The Roman Martyrology remembers him on 19 July as an archimandrite at Constantinople, born at Antioch, who founded a monastery under the rule of the Acoemetae.
