I have just read the life story of Venerable Gregory of Decapolis :) I have big books writen (in serbian) by Saint Father Justin, where are life storyes of almoust all Saints (all known until his days)
It is little more understandable that this photo looks like this, when you read that. Saint people are miraculous !

Marina, the celebration is on 20-th of November:
The Venerable Gregory of Decapolis
Gregory was born in Isaurian Decapolis of prominent and devout parents, Sergius and Mary. After he had completed his schooling, his parents desired that he marry, but he fled to the wilderness and was tonsured a monk. He lived in various places: Byzantium, Rome and on Mount Olympus. Wherever he was, he amazed men by his asceticism and miracles. At times a heavenly light illumined him and angels of God appeared to him. He gazed upon the beauty of the angels and listened to their sweet chanting. He lived a long and God-pleasing life and died peacefully in the ninth century in Constantinople, his soul taking up its abode in the joy of his Lord.
(Bishop Nikolai Velimirovch, The Prologue from Ohrid)
