Venerable Xenophon the Abbot of Robeika, Novgorod
Saint Xenophon of Robeika was a student of St. Barlaam of
Khutyn (+ 1192, November 6). He was the head of the Khutyn monastery
after the igumen Isidore (+1243). Resigning as igumen, St. Xenophon
founded the Trinity Monastery on the banks of the Robeika River (not far
from Novgorod). Here he reposed blessedly on June 28, 1262.
