Life

Holy Venerable Ignatius of Radonezh was a disciple and cell-⁠attendant of Saint Nikon of Radonezh. The Russian Church counts him among the venerable fathers of the land of Radonezh.

The list of the Synaxis of the Saints of Radonezh is the only source consulted about him, and it gives no years, places or events from his life. The synaxis is kept on 6 July by the old calendar (19 July by the new), the day after the finding of the relics of Saint Sergius.
