St. Demetrianos was a native of the village of Syka in the district of Ketheria, and was connected with the service of the Church from his earliest years, since his father was a priest. After much opposition he consented to his parents' entreaties to take a wife, but being left a widower three months after marriage he became a monk at the Monastery of St. Antony near Ketheria. There he devoted himself to strict fasting, prayer, obedience and vigils. At the request of Bishop Eustathios, by whom he was ordained a monk, he was appointed to the Bishopric of Ketheria. He is reported to have died a natural death in 915 when he was 81. His feast day is on November 6 and is the patron saint of refugees.
