Joseph the Hymnographer

Joseph the Hymnographer
(c. 810–86)
   Poet and Saint.
   Joseph was born in Sicily and initially joined a monastery in Thessalonica. For a time he lived in Constantinople and Rome before being captured by pirates and sold as a slave in Crete. He founded a monastery in Constantinople in c. 850, but suffered two further periods of exile. He is remembered for his hymns. In the Menaion, the twelve liturgical books of the Eastern Church, there are more than two hundred of his Canons. He also produced the final form of the Octoechos, the book containing the variable parts of the services.
