02 — The Itinerant Mission
Two decades on the road: the apostolic journeys that carried Kosmas across Aetolia-Acarnania, Epirus, Macedonia, Thessaly, the Ionian Islands, and Albania, drawing crowds of thousands; and the distinctive working method — the wooden cross raised at every stop, the portable preaching-stool, the fonts and prayer-ropes, and the crosses left standing as relics.
Tradition: Greek Orthodox (canonized 1961)
