Joseph the Hymnographer
Saint Joseph the Hymnographer ((ギリシア語:Όσιος Ιωσήφ ο Υμνογράφος)) was a monk of the ninth century. He is one of the greatest liturgical poets and hymnographers of the Eastern Orthodox Church, but as a poet he is often confused with Joseph, the Archbishop of Thessalonica and brother of Theodore the Studite, who were one generation older than him. He is also known for his confession of the Orthodox Faith in opposition to Iconoclasm. He is called "the sweet-voiced nightingale of the Church".
== Life ==
He was born around 816 AD in Sicily of devout parents, Plotinus and Agatha.〔The exact year of birth is not known, but it can be roughly assumed between 812 and 818, most probably soon after 816.〕 Joseph's family had to flee from Sicily due to the Arab invasion of the island.〔The exact place of origin varied among different hagiographers. He was likely from the Val Demone of Sicily, where most of the Orthodox communities were located. Tomadakis (1971) dates his family's depart from Sicily to 831, from the port of Palermo which he also regards as his birth town. Theodore Pediasimos on the other hand regarded Syracuse as his port and birth town. 〕 According to the hagiograph Theophanes they went to Peloponnes. At the age of fifteen he was tonsured a monk at the Latomos Monastery of Thessalonica. About 840 the bishop of Thessalonica ordained him a hieromonk (priest-monk). While visiting Thessalonica the distinguished Gregory of Dekapolis was so impressed with Joseph, because of his rare character, that he invited him to join his Stoudios Monastery in Constantinople.
