Commemorated on January 22
The Monk Martyr Anastasius, Deacon of the Kiev Caves, lived an ascetical
life in the Near Caves. The hieromonk Athanasius the Sooty calls him
brother of St Titus the Presbyter (February 27). In the manuscripts of
the saints he is called a deacon. In the Service to the Synaxis of the
Fathers of the Near Caves, it says that the Monk Martyr Anastasius
possessed such steadfastness in God, that he received everything he
asked for. His memory is celebrated also on September 28 and on the
second Sunday of Great Lent.
TROPARION - TONE 4
Your holy martyr Anastasius, O Lord, / Through his sufferings has
received an incorruptible crown from You, our God. / For having Your
strength, he laid low his adversaries, / And shattered the powerless
boldness of demons. / Through his intercessions, save our souls!
