St. Vlasios was an abbot or retired bishop in the Holy Monastery of the Entrance of the Theotokos, which was in the region of Sklavainon-Zaverdas, now Plairo. He endured death by martyrdom by muslim pirates together with his fellow five monastics, and a multitude of Christian laymen, women and children in his flock, for their faith in Christ.  He was beheaded, having previously been slowly nailed with five nails in his body, as was revealed at the uncovering of his relics. The executioners tried to burn the Saint's body, but it did not burn. The Chistians who were saved returned and buried St. Vlasios, together with his five fellow martyrs, in a common tomb. The rest of the Christians were buried in a large mass grave.The official glorification ceremony of St. Vlasios and his companions took place in August 2016 in the Ecumenical Patriarchate.
