George of Choziba was a Greek Cypriot monk who led the Choziba monastery located near Jerusalem. Born on Cyprus, he was raised within a monastic setting by an uncle after losing his parents. Although he originally sought to join his brother at the Calamon lavra, he was instead sent to the coenobium of Choziba. He is remembered for his ascetic lifestyle, which included abstaining from wine and observing weekly all-night vigils while living in a monastic cell.
