Jacob Bryleevsky

Holy Venerable Jacob Bryleevsky (of Bryleevo) was a disciple of Venerable Jacob of Zheleznoborovsk (commemorated on 11 April) and a labourer of his monastery. The word labourer in Russian has two senses: worker and novice. Later he founded the Bryleev hermitage, dedicated to the Entry of the Mother of God into the Temple, five versts from the monastery of the Forerunner at Zheleznoborovsk, on the way to the town of Buy. Venerable Jacob reposed in the fifteenth century and was buried in the church of the Entry.

He is commemorated on 5 February, in the Synaxis of the Saints of Kostroma, and on 24 April (new style).
