Orthodox commemorations of Saint Chariton

Overview

Orthodox religious traditions commemorate different figures named Saint Chariton. One tradition honors Saint Chariton the Confessor, an ancient figure from Iconium who survived persecution under Emperor Aurelian and established monastic communities in the desert regions of Pharan and Jericho.

Separately, commemorations focus on Saint Chariton of Kosovo, a Serbian martyr born in 1960. After serving in the war in Croatia, he entered monastic life and was killed by criminals in Prizren in June 1999; his remains were later discovered in August 2000.
