Life

Holy Venerable Januarius of Solovki is commemorated in the calendar as an ascetic of the Solovki monastery. The calendar page we rely on gives no life of him, only the days of commemoration, so nothing certain can be said here about his origins, his years or his labours.

He is commemorated on 11 July (new style, a movable day), in the Synaxis of the Saints of Novgorod, and on 22 August, in the Synaxis of the Saints of Solovki.
