Life
A pillar of light appeared above the house where he was born. From his village of Magnesia he went to Jerusalem to venerate the holy places, and there he became a monk in the monastery of Saint Sabbas the Sanctified. After ten years he settled on Mount Galesium, and labored ascetically on a pillar as a stylite. A wonderworker during his life and after his death. Emperor Constantine Monomachus held him in great esteem. In old age Saint Lazarus departed to eternity, at the end of the eleventh century.
