Life

Saint Felix lived in the fifteenth century in northern Russia, at Korel (Karelia), together with Saint Anthony.

The two struggled in the monastery of Saint Nicholas, founded by the venerable Euthymius, the Enlightener of Karelia. They worked as missionaries, spreading the word of God and strengthening the Orthodox faith, and then fell asleep in peace. Few details of their lives are preserved.

They are commemorated on 18 April, according to the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style).
