Venerable Coprius of the Kiev Caves

Venerable Coprius labored at the Kiev Caves Monastery; his relics rest in the Far (Theodosian) Caves of the Lavra. Details of his life, the circumstances of his ascetic labor, and the exact date of his individual commemoration have not survived in the sources that have come down to us — such scarcity of information is characteristic of a significant portion of the 49 ascetics resting in the Far Caves. He is venerated as part of the Synaxis of the Fathers of the Far Caves and the general Synaxis of All Venerable Fathers of the Kiev Caves, celebrated on the 2nd Sunday of Great Lent (a movable date).
