Life

Holy Venerable Jonah of Zverinets was an igumen of the Zverinets monastery in Kyiv. He is commemorated in the Synaxis of the Venerable Fathers of Zverinets, which is kept on the fifth Sunday of Great Lent.

The calendar of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, the only source consulted, gives only the name, the rank of igumen and venerable, and the synaxis; no years or details of his life survive.
