The Home and Garden of Saint Michael Paknanas

New Martyr Michael Paknanas the Gardner of Athens (Feast Day - June 30 and July 9)

For the life of New Martyr Michael Paknanas the Gardner (1754 - July 9, 1771), read here.


The house of Saint Michael Paknanas was near the Acropolis in Athens in Vlassarou, which today is known as Ancient Agora. This photo was taken in 1935 and is from the American School of Classical Education in Athens.


The only chapel dedicated to St. Michael is within the Church of the Ascension of the Lord in Neos Kosmos, Athens. According to tradition, this is where the gardens of St. Michael were. They celebrate his feast day on July 9th.

Support the Mystagogy Resource Center

For more than fifteen years, the Mystagogy Resource Center has been a labor of love dedicated to making the riches of the Orthodox Christian tradition freely available to people throughout the world.

Thousands of articles, translations, lives of saints, theological reflections, historical resources, and daily materials have been published across this ministry’s websites, all offered free of charge for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Orthodox faith.

This is a one-man ministry that requires countless hours of research, translation, writing, editing, and maintenance each day.

If this work has spiritually benefited, educated, encouraged, or inspired you in any way, I humbly ask you to consider supporting this ministry financially.

Generous annual and monthly benefactors make possible the continuation and expansion of this work for the future, for without such support this ministry cannot exist.

Every contribution, whether large or small, truly makes a difference and is deeply appreciated. May God bless you abundantly for your generosity and prayers.
