Life
Venerable Moses of the Kiev Caves, the wonderworker, lived in the Kiev Caves Monastery in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries and was completely dedicated to God. He wore chains and a heavy copper cross. His continuous and favorite ascetical struggle was psalmody and making innumerable prostrations, and so he received the gift of working miracles. The relics of the righteous Moses are in the Far (Theodosian) Caves. He should not be confused with Saint Moses the Hungarian (26 July). He is commemorated on 28 July (new style; 10 August on the old calendar).
