Saint Cosmas of Maiuma, also called Cosmas Hagiopolites ("of the Holy City"), Cosmas of Jerusalem, or Cosmas the Melodist, or Cosmas the Poet (d. 773 or 794),〔Other sources give the dates of his life as ca. 675 - ca. 751. Kathryn Tsai, ''A Timeline of Eastern Church History'' (Divine Ascent Press, Point Reyes Station, CA, 2004), p. 144.〕 was a bishop and hymnographer (writer of hymns) of the Eastern Orthodox Church. ==Life== Saint Cosmas ((ギリシア語:Κοσμάς)) was probably born in Damascus, but he was orphaned at a young age. He was adopted by Sergius, the father of St. John of Damascus (ca.676 - 749), and became John's foster-brother. The teacher of the two boys was an elderly Calabrian monk, also named Cosmas (known as "Cosmas the Monk" to distinguish him), who had been freed from slavery to the Saracens by St. John's father. John and Cosmas went from Damascus to Jerusalem, where both became monks in the Lavra (monastery) of St. Sabbas the Sanctified near that city.〔 Together they helped defend the Church against the heresy of iconoclasm. Cosmas left the monastery in 743 when he was appointed Bishop of Maiuma, the port of ancient Gaza.〔 He outlived St. John by many years and died in great old age.
