Life

Holy Venerable Chariton of Pskov was the founder and igumen of the Kudin monastery, three versts from Toropets, on Lake Kudino, and lived in the sixteenth century. He is commemorated on 28 September, by the old calendar.

Nothing is known of his life. His monastery became a parish church, and in it, under cover, rest the saint's relics. The day of his death is not known; his name appears in the old manuscript calendars. The menologion of Dimitry Sambikin and the Historical Dictionary of the Saints of the Russian Church (1835) say no more.
