Life

Venerable Moskhian is commemorated on 21 December (8 December in the old style), as shown by the calendar of the Menaia of the Sinai collection of the turn of the tenth and eleventh centuries (Sinait. Gr. 595). The Azbyka page notes that his name is not found in the present calendar of the Russian Orthodox Church and gives no life, place or date of his struggle. For this reason nothing more can be said with certainty.
