Ioannikia Gomolko

Holy Venerable Ioannikios Gomolko, filed under the name Ioannikia Gomolko, was a schema-⁠archimandrite of the Glinsk Hermitage and passed away in 1912. The name Ioannikia, used in some lists, has a feminine form, but he was a male monk; the correct form is Ioannikios.

The Glinsk Hermitage, in Ukraine, was closed after the revolution and reopened in August 1994. On 8 May 2008 the Holy Synod of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church canonized thirteen ascetics of the hermitage, among them Schema-⁠Archimandrite Ioannikios (Gomolko, d. 1912), and on 16 August 2008 their synaxis was glorified at the monastery. Their common commemoration is on 22 September by the new calendar. On 30 November 2017 the Council of Bishops of the Russian Church blessed their veneration throughout the Church.
