Hieromartyr Jacob of Hamatoura was a 13th-century monk in the Northern Lebanese [[Monastery of the Dormition of the Theotokos]], a community in Hamatoura Monastery. His feast day is October 13. He is a recently rediscovered saint and is revered in Lebanon and by laymen faithful throughout the world, but is still relatively unknown to the wider Orthodox Church, being in only a few synaxarions.
