Life

Holy Venerable Onuphrius of Solovki is a hermit of the Solovki Monastery, commemorated in the synaxes of the saints of Novgorod and of Solovki.

The Azbyka page holds no life of him, only the liturgical commemoration: he is remembered on 11 July (a movable day), in the Synaxis of the Saints of Novgorod, and on 22 August, in the Synaxis of the Saints of Solovki, in the new style. A life of his was written by Archbishop Dimitri (Sambikin).
