From 9d18995191e129b6dac5af24ecb5c305dffb9909 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian Glass Date: Fri, 2 Oct 2026 13:47:27 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Make St Iakovos of Evia findable by his Greek name antiochian.org lists him on Nov 22 as "Righteous Jacob of Evia", so a search for "Iakovos" or "Tsalikis" found nothing -- Iakovos is the Greek form of the name, not a transliteration variant, so normalize_transliteration can't bridge it. Give the saint a full_name carrying his Greek name and surname; search already matches full_name.

He was born on November 5, 1920, in Livisi in Asia Minor, and came to Greece as a child when his family was uprooted as refugees; they settled on the island of Evia. From boyhood he was devoted to the Church: by seven he knew the Divine Liturgy by heart though he could not yet read, he tended the lamps at a chapel of St Paraskevi, and he was entrusted with the keys of the village church. After his mother’s death in 1942 and his army service, he worked to provide his sister’s dowry before he was free to become a monk.

In 1951 he entered the Monastery of St David the Elder on Evia, and in 1952 he was tonsured and ordained deacon and priest. He became abbot in 1975 and led a small, poor brotherhood in humility, regarding St David as the monastery’s true abbot and his own spiritual father. Many sought him out as a confessor, and hundreds of healings and other wonders have been attributed to his prayers.

\n

He reposed on November 21, 1991, the feast of the Entry of the Theotokos, after receiving Holy Communion at the Divine Liturgy. In 2017 the Ecumenical Patriarchate numbered him among the Saints, with his feast on November 22.
