New Martyr Habakkuk

Commemorated on August 6.

From his designation as "Venerable" it may be assumed that Habakkuk was a monk, probably on Mount Athos.

The name of the Holy Martyr Habakkuk was first written in the Hagiologion of Metropolitan Sophronios Eustratiádēs, who also published a catalogue of manuscripts in the Greatest Lavra Monastery, where the remembrance of Abbakoum's martyrdom is found.

Pieces of the relics of the Holy Martyr Habakkuk are kept in the monastery of Nativity in Akarnania.
