Abramius of Pechenga

Holy Venerable Abramius of Pechenga, also called Abramius of Vologda, founded in 1492, together with Venerable Coprius, the Savior Hermitage on the Pechenga river, in the Gryazovets district, twenty-⁠one versts from Vologda. Many hardships and labours were needed to build a monastery in an empty place, without means, and to bring it to proper order. The blessed labourers did not spare themselves, struggling zealously for the Lord until the end of their lives. Abramius is commemorated on 17 February, and also on 11 July, in the Synaxis of the Saints of Vologda.
