Life

Holy Venerable Bogolep of Kozheozero was, with Longinus and German, one of the disciples of Venerable Serapion of Kozheozero. Information about them is very scarce. In the Arkhangelsk Paterikon of Archimandrite Nikodim it is said that Longinus, German and Bogolep (after 1606) were among the first disciples of Venerable Serapion. All were for a time abbots of the Kozheozero Monastery, but later went to Siberia, to the monastery at Mangazeya, and there they reposed. They are commemorated on 11 July, in the Synaxis of the Saints of Novgorod.
