Life
Saint Mal, as a youth, was prudent and humble and remained poor so as to become rich in Christ. He was not very learned but was fervent in faith. The Venerable Mal became a hermit in the wilderness, but sometimes went down into the cities, because the Lord had given him the power to heal diseases.
His memory falls on 29 October, according to the Greek calendar. His name is not in today's Menologion of the Russian Church.
