Commemorated on October 3
Saint Dionysius, Hermit of the Kiev Caves, Far Caves, called Schepa,
is mentioned briefly in the Kiev Caves Paterikon. In the year 1463
during Paschal Matins, Dionysius went around censing the relics of the
God-pleasers buried in the Kiev Caves. When the monk cried out: “Holy
Fathers and brethren, today is the great day! Christ is Risen!” their
reply resounded like thunder: “Truly, He is Risen!”
From that very
day St Dionysius lived as a recluse, and after many labors he fell
asleep in the Lord. The miracle involving St Dionysius is mentioned in
the 8th Ode of the Canon of the Kiev Caves Saints. He is also
commemorated on August 28, and on the second Sunday of Great Lent.
