“This true man of God, Gabriel Dionysiatis, was born in 1886, in the mountain village of Mesenikola in the province of Karditsa, Thessaly. At Holy Baptism he was given the name of Georgios, 'George.' His surname was Kazasis. In his mid-twenties, at the time of his monastic tonsure, his name was changed from Georgios to Gabriel.”
