Saint Euthymius the New of Thessalonica and Mt Athos was a native of the city of Ancyra in Galatia. His worldly name was Nicetas. On Mt Athos he was tonsured into the Great Schema and lived for three years in a cave in total silence, struggling with temptations. Saint Euthymius also lived for a long time as a stylite, not far from Thessaloniki. Before his death he lived on Hiera, an island of Mt Athos, where he reposed in 898.
