Coprius of Pechenga

Holy Venerable Coprius of Pechenga (Vologda) was, together with the Venerable Abraham, the founder, in 1492, of the Saviour Hermitage on the river Pechenga, in the Gryazovets district, twenty-⁠one versts from Vologda. They had much to endure in want and toil to raise a monastery in an empty place, without means, and bring it to good order. The blessed labourers did not spare themselves, struggling zealously for the Lord to the end of their lives.

Saint Coprius is commemorated on 17 February and on 11 July, with the Synaxis of the Saints of Vologda (the date moves), in the new style.
