Sts Constantine and Cosmas were monastic followers of St
Barlaam of Khutyn (November 6) and his successor, St Anthony of Dymsk
(January 17). About the year 1220, they left the Khutyn monastery and
settled upon a wilderness peninsula, situated 3 versts from the city of
Staraya Rus, between the Rivers Polista and Smezhnya. In time they
founded a monastery there in the name of St Nicholas, headed by St
Constantine until his death (ca. 1240).
St Cosmas continued with
the exploits of his mentor. He was buried in the same grave with St
Constantine. Their bodies rest beneath the vestibule of the Nikolaev
church, built in 1820 over the tomb of the saints.
