Venerable Silvanus the Schemamonk of the Kiev Far Caves
The Holy Schemamonk Silvanus (Silouan) of the Kiev Caves,
zealously preserved the purity of both soul and body, he subdued his
flesh with fasting and vigils, and he cleansed his soul with prayer and
meditation on God. The Lord granted him an abundance of spiritual gifts:
a prayerful boldness towards God, constant joy in the Lord,
clairvoyance and wonderworking. The monk lived at the end of the
thirteenth and beginning of the fourteenth centuries. His relics rest in
the Caves
