{{english}} Our father among the saints, ''''''Hilarionos''' Episcopate Hilarion, Bishop of ΜογλενώνMeglin in Bulgaria''' (Mo-glen-On) was born in the village of Promahi (Edessa, Greece) around 1080-1090 and is commemorated by the Church on [[October 21]] along with other [[Hilarion the Great|another saint of the same name ]] on the same day.
His parents, were of Greek origin, extremally pious yet barren. After years of unceasing prayers and litanies, one night the [[Theotokos|Virgin Mary]] appeared to his mother and promised her that she would give birth to a son who would take many people from the depths of deceit and return them to the light of the knowledge of God.
His holy-relics were forcefully translated from the monastery sometime during 1204 by the Bulgarian Tsar Ioannis Asanis to the Church of the 40-saints in his country.
