Holy New Martyr Jonah the Protopsaltis (+ 1821)


The Holy New Martyr Jonah was the Protopsaltis of the Cathedral Temple of the Panagia in Ayia Napa, Limassol of Cyprus.

He was decapitated on July 10, 1821, the day after the sacrifice of the Holy Ethnomartyr Archbishop Kyprianos of Cyprus and the three Metropolitans with him: Chrysanthos of Paphos, Meletios of Kition, Laurentios of Kyrenia.

Bishop Nicholas of Amathountos painted the first icon of the Holy New Martyr and it was placed in the Cathedral of the Panagia in Ayia Napa in July 2021.
