Maria Zaozerskaya

Holy Right-⁠believing Princess Maria Zaozerskaya was the wife of the right-⁠believing prince Dimitry Zaozersky, of the princes of Yaroslavl, who held the lands around Lake Kubenskoye in the north of the Vologda region. The devout couple lived at the end of the fourteenth and the beginning of the fifteenth century in the village of Chirkovo (today Ustye), where they founded the monastery of the Nativity of the Mother of God at Lysaya Gora. They were buried in the monastery, and their relics lay under the ground at the church of the Great Martyr Demetrius of Thessalonica. From the middle of the nineteenth century a church in the name of Saint Athanasius of Alexandria was built on the place, and it exists today.

She is commemorated on the movable day around 11 July, in the new style, in the Synaxis of the Saints of Vologda.
