Saint Gregory Palamas was born in 1296 in Constantinople. After receiving education alongside important teachers of the time, he went to the Papikio mountain of the Rhodopes to devote himself to the practice of prayer. His next destination was Mount Athos where he remained until 1331.
A few years later, he was elected Archbishop of Thessaloniki, developing great theological activity.
He died peacefully in 1359.
