Demetrius Gorsky

Holy Righteous Demetrius Gorsky, who died in 1828, is honoured as a righteous man in the Severodonetsk eparchy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. The archive lists him as a right-⁠believing prince, but the sources show him as a righteous man, not a prince.

On 19 June 2014 the Holy Synod of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, having examined his life, labours and the veneration of the people, blessed his local glorification and veneration in the Severodonetsk eparchy. The Synod approved his icon and the draft troparion, kontakion and prayer, and decided that his remains should be regarded as holy relics. The calendar of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church commemorates him on 15 December (old style), among the saints of Starobilsk. The sources consulted give no other details of his life.
