Saint Methodius, Igumen of Peshnosha was the founder of the
Peshnosha monastery. In his youth he went to St Sergius of Radonezh and
spent several years under his guidance. Later on, with the blessing of
St Sergius, he withdrew to a solitary place and built himself a cell in
the forest beyond the River Yakhroma. Soon several disciples came to him
in this marshy place, wishing to imitate his life. St Sergius visited
him and advised him to build a monastery and church. St Methodius
himself toiled at the construction of the church and the cells, “on foot
carrying” wood along the river, and from that time the monastery began
to be called “the Peshnosha.”
In 1391 St Methodius became igumen
of this monastery. At times he withdrew two versts from the monastery
and struggled in prayer. Here also St Sergius came to him for spiritual
conversation, therefore this spot became known as “Beseda”
(“Conversation-place”).
St Methodius died in 1392 and was buried
at the monastery he founded. A church dedicated to Sts Sergius of
Radonezh and Methodius of Peshnosha was built over his relics in 1732.
The beginning of his local veneration dates from the late
seventeenth—early eighteenth centuries.
