Saint Therapon was a revered Hieromartyr and Bishop of Kition, Cyprus, who lived during the 7th or early 8th century AD.

According to Orthodox tradition, he suffered martyrdom when Arab pirates entered the church during the Divine Liturgy and beheaded him at the Holy Altar.

His holy relics were later transferred to Constantinople, where a church was built in his honor and became known for the miraculous myrrh flowing from his relics.

Saint Therapon is venerated as a wonderworker, is the patron saint of Zografou (Athens), and relics of the Saint are preserved at the Holy Monastery of Zografou on Mount Athos.

His feast day is celebrated each year on May 14.
