Venerable Xenophon the Abbot of Robeika, Novgorod

JUNE 28


Saint Xenophon of Robeika was a student of St. Barlaam of Khutyn (+ 1192, November 6). He was the head of the Khutyn monastery after the igumen Isidore (+1243). Resigning as igumen, St. Xenophon founded the Trinity Monastery on the banks of the Robeika River (not far from Novgorod). 

Here he reposed blessedly on June 28, 1262.
