斯皮里安出生于埃皮鲁斯的克里佐斯村。在他那善良的父母都去世后，斯皮里安来到了圣山阿托斯成为一名修士，在库特罗摩修修道院附近的一个小棚屋中，将自己全身心献于禁欲修行生活中。他强迫自及不断劳作、不断修行，由此得以被众人所知，受到了圣山阿托斯所有人的尊敬。斯皮里安对自己仍不满意。他被这样的一种思想折磨着：除非为基督殉道，不然自及不能获得拯救。由此，他离开了圣山，来到了德撒洛尼基；斯皮里安来到德撒洛尼基的帕夏[1]面前告诉他拒绝虚假的默罕默德，接受真正的基督信仰。帕夏下令对他进行鞭打，并将他驱逐。斯皮里安对受到的这么一点儿磨难并不感到满意，于是他来到了君士坦丁堡，并给当时的首相写了一封信，信中斯皮里安讲述了默罕默德是虚假的，而主基督才是真正的。首相大怒，将斯皮里安送到斯凯克·乌尔·伊斯拉穆那里；在听完斯皮里安所述之后，斯凯克·乌尔·伊斯拉穆下令将斯皮里安斩首。斯皮里安异常高兴，欣然前往断头台，如同赴婚宴一般喜悦。这位圣人就这样为基督而献身，实现了他火热的愿望，他殉道的时间是公元1679年7月5日。
