Venerable Pachomius of the Kiev Caves
точные годы жизни не сохранились
Venerable Pachomius 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 St. Pachomius the Great of Egypt (founder of cenobitic monasticism, 4th c.) — a name coincidence with a different, far more famous saint.
Venerable Pachomius labored at the Kiev Caves Monastery; 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. The card's original structured data ("292–348") were in fact the life-years of St. Pachomius the Great of Egypt, founder of cenobitic monasticism — a clear contamination by shared name with a far more famous early Christian saint; these dates have been removed as certainly incorrect for the Kiev Caves ascetic. Venerable Pachomius of the Caves is venerated as part of the general Synaxis of All Venerable Fathers of the Kiev Caves (2nd Sunday of Great Lent).
