Venerable Ignatius of Loma and Yaroslav

Commemorated on December 28
 
The circumstances of his life while still in the world are unknown. He started his ascetic path at the Priluki monastery of the Savior at Vologda and he received monastic tonsure at the St Cyril of White Lake monastery. St Ignatius then departed to the vicinity of Loma and there founded a wilderness monastery which gradually attracted disciples. Later, he withdrew to a forest skete and pursued asceticism in silence.
