Life
Blessed Mark the Deaf (also called the deaf-mute) was a fool for Christ and died in peace. The Azbyka page has no life of him and says nothing about the time and place in which he lived.
He is commemorated on 15 January, in the new style. His name is not in today's Menologion of the Russian Church.
