Many many thanks to all those who contributed to match a generous $3000 donation from an anonymous donor. The goal was attained this past weekend. It is because of people like you that the Mystagogy Resource Center can continue to offer unique material to all for free on a daily basis that I hope people find beneficial. For those who still wish to contribute, please do so, with much gratitude in return. God bless you all!

Saint Onouphrios the Silent of the Kiev Caves


The Venerable Onouphrios the Silent was a Russian ascetic in the Kiev Caves Lavra and lived in the twelfth century. We do not have other details of his life, but his holy relics rest in the Lavra. He is commemorated on July 21 by himself, and on September 28 for the Synaxis of the Fathers of the Kiev Caves.
