Auxentius of Solovki

Holy Venerable Auxentius of Solovki was, by all appearances, a monk of the Transfiguration Monastery of Solovki and struggled in the seventeenth century, together with Axius and Tarasius, within the bounds of the Kashkaran parish of the Arkhangelsk diocese, where he also departed to the Lord. No written details of their lives have been preserved.

The memory of Auxentius, Axius and Tarasius was kept in the parish by word of mouth until the beginning of the twentieth century, which suggests that a local commemoration had been established for them and later forgotten; there are no written data about it. Their local veneration is confirmed by the inclusion of their names in the Synaxis of the Saints of Solovki, established in 1993 with the blessing of Patriarch Alexy II. They are commemorated on 11 July, in the Synaxis of the Saints of Novgorod, on 22 August, in the Synaxis of the Saints of Solovki, and on 29 December, in the Synaxis of the Saints of Kola.
