Moses of Beloozero

Venerable Moses of Beloozero was a monk of the Kirillo-⁠Belozersky Monastery in northern Russia and reposed around the year 1492. He was known for the gift of foresight. He is commemorated on 23 February, according to the old calendar.

He received the monastic tonsure after Saint Cyril of Beloozero and before Saint Cyril of Novoezersk, and so he is counted among the earliest disciples of that monastic life. He laboured as an ascetic in the Holy Trinity monastery of Ust-⁠Shekhna, which now lies in the Belozersky district.

He is thought to have been buried in this monastery, near the source of the Sheksna river, not far from the present reservoir. His name is entered in the Complete Christian Menologion under 23 February.

For his veneration the liturgical commission of the diocese of Cherepovets composed a troparion and a kontakion. No further details of his life have been preserved.
