Life
Venerable Longinus the Gatekeeper struggled at the Kiev Caves Lavra, in the Far Caves, where he fulfilled the obedience of gatekeeper. The Lord rewarded his prayerful fervour and humble love of work.
The venerable gatekeeper was granted the gift of discernment. He encouraged those who came to the Lavra with good intent and rebuked those inclined to wickedness, urging them to repentance. He was buried in the Far Caves. He is commemorated on 16 October, on 28 August and on the second Sunday of Great Lent, together with the Holy Fathers of the Far Caves.
