Our father among the [[saint]]s '''[[Gregory Palamas]]''' (1296-1359), [[Archbishop]] of Thessalonica, was a [[monk]] of [[Mount Athos]] in Greece (at [[Vatopedi Monastery (Athos)|Vatopedi Monastery]] and [[Esphigmenou Monastery (Athos)|Esphigmenou Monastery]]), and later became Archbishop of Thessalonica.  He was a preeminent theologian and a proponent of [[hesychasm|hesychastic]] theology.  His [[feast day]]s in the Church are [[November 14]] and the second Sunday of [[Great Lent]].

He continually stressed the [[Holy Scriptures|Biblical]] vision of the human person as a united whole, both body and soul.  Thus, he argued that the physical side of hesychastic prayer was an integral part of the contemplative [[monastic]] way, and that the claim by some of the monks of seeing the uncreated light was indeed legitimate.  Like St. [[Simeon the New Theologian]], he also laid great stress in his spiritual teaching on the vision of the divine light.
