John the Cave-⁠dweller

John the Cave-⁠dweller was a hermit of the Near Caves of the Kyiv Lavra, honoured as a saint, with a commemoration on 24 May. His name came to light only on 24 May 1853, when in one branch of the Near Caves eleventh-⁠century inscriptions were found on the vaults: Lord, help your servant Theodosius and Theophilus, amen, many years; The grave of John the cave-⁠dweller, John the sinner lived here; and on a small oak board, John the cave-⁠dweller. So three new names of the fathers of the Caves were revealed: Theophilus, Theodosius and John. Nothing else is known of them.
