Life
Saint Gregory of Suzdal is remembered in the Russian sources as bishop of Suzdal and a wonderworker, but he was not officially canonized and his identity is not clear. He is commemorated on 25 January by the old calendar.
The menologion of Dimitry Sambikin says that Gregory, bishop of Suzdal and wonderworker, appears in Russian calendars of the seventeenth century (that of the Imperial Public Library, that of the Koryazhma monastery of 1621, and those of Belozersk). Archimandrite Sergius, in the Hagiology of the East, places him among the Russian saints entered in manuscript calendars but not canonized. Yet in the list of hierarchs compiled by P. M. Stroev there is no bishop of Suzdal named Gregory, so it is not known who he was.
