Artemon Shestakov

Holy Venerable Artemon Shestakov was a schemamonk of the Glinsk Hermitage, in Ukraine. The list of the canonized ascetics of the hermitage includes one of them as Archippus (Shestakov), schemamonk, d. 1896; the calendar gives him under the name Artemon, which appears to be the secular name of the same father.

The Glinsk Hermitage was closed after the revolution and reopened in August 1994. On 8 May 2008 the Holy Synod of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church canonized thirteen of its ascetics, and on 16 August 2008 their synaxis was glorified at the monastery; their common commemoration is on 22 September by the new calendar. On 30 November 2017 the Council of Bishops of the Russian Church blessed their veneration throughout the Church. The sources consulted give no other details of his life.
