Venerable Eustathius of the Kiev Caves
точные годы жизни не сохранились
Venerable Eustathius of the Kiev Caves — one of the ascetics of the Kiev Caves Monastery; no detailed biography has survived, and he is venerated as part of the Synaxis of All Venerable Fathers of the Kiev Caves. Not to be confused with the Venerable Martyr Eustratius of the Caves (a different name, with a separate, well-documented story of crucifixion and martyric death c. 1097).
Venerable Eustathius labored at the Kiev Caves Monastery; the exact century of his life, the circumstances of his ascetic labor, and his day of individual commemoration have not survived in the sources that have come down to us. Research found that searches for the name "Eustathius" often return information about the Venerable Martyr Eustratius of the Caves — this is a DIFFERENT, separately documented saint (crucified and drowned c. 1097/1098, whose life is included in the 1222–1226 Paterikon) — the names should not be confused. Venerable Eustathius is venerated as part of the general Synaxis of All Venerable Fathers of the Kiev Caves (2nd Sunday of Great Lent).
