Venerable Lampadus dedicated himself to monastic life from his youth, laboring in fasting and unceasing prayer in a cave near the city of Irenopolis, located in the region of the Isaurian Decapolis (Asia Minor). During his life and after his death he became renowned for the gift of miracles and healings performed at his relics.

His feast is kept on July 5/18.
NOTE: the original stub was an unprocessed image caption from pravicon.com for a miniature from the Iviron Monastery (Mount Athos, late 15th c.) — it has been reworked into a coherent but deliberately brief description, honestly reflecting the scarcity of surviving information about the saint, without adding unreliable details.
