Zachariah the Recluse

Venerable

Saint Zacharias, a monk, was known for his special care for the poor and the wayfarers, for which he received the nickname "the open one." In the printed Menaion, his memory is marked as "the venerable father our Zacharias," which led to a mistaken separation in the calendar between Zacharias and Saint Zacharias the monk.
