Life

Holy Venerable Martyr Joseph of Uglich is commemorated on 5 June, in the Synaxis of the Saints of Rostov and Yaroslavl, in new style. The source of these facts does not tell his life. It names him only a venerable martyr, that is, a monk who received a martyr's death, and says nothing about the place, time or circumstances of his suffering.
