Life
Holy Blessed Cyriacus of Pskov is commemorated as a blessed man of Pskov, with Prince Vsevolod-Gabriel, on 11 February by the old calendar.
In the second canon to the holy Prince Vsevolod-Gabriel of Pskov, the name of the blessed Cyriacus appears on 11 February: "You raised the church and the most honourable monastery of the Martyr (Demetrius) together with the blessed Cyriacus, and in it a multitude of monks glory in you." The author of the canon does not give his name, and the menologion of Dimitry Sambikin says that it is not known who Cyriacus was; he may be the same as Cyriacus, igumen of the Yuryev monastery from 1119, who died in 1128.
