Life

Holy Venerable Elias of Siya is a saint honoured in the Russian Church, commemorated on 11 July, on a movable day, in the Synaxis of the Saints of Novgorod, in the new style. The Azbyka page gives no life of him, only the title of venerable, the name and the date of commemoration. His name points to a connection with the places and the monastery on the river Siya in the north of Russia.
