Martyrius

Venerable Martyrius was a monk and recluse at the Kyiv Caves Lavra in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. He is commemorated on 7 November, which is 25 October by the old calendar.

It is known that he was a recluse and that he departed to the Lord in the monastery. No other data about him has been found. The news of him, as of other saints, was known to Modest Strilbytsky and goes back to the time of Peter Mohyla (the map of 1638).

His incorrupt relics lie in the Far Caves, beside those of Pior the Recluse and Rufus the Recluse. The akathist to all the venerable fathers of the Caves also speaks of him. His commemoration is kept together with Venerable Martyrius the Deacon.
