Life
Venerable Paisius of the Caves was a monk of the Kyiv Caves Lavra in the fourteenth century and is a saint of the Orthodox Church.
He was a companion and like-minded friend of Venerable Mercurius the Faster. He lived with him in one cell and was buried beside him. His relics rest in the Far Caves.
The Ukrainian source commemorates him on 10 September and on 18 July, while our Menaion data shows 19 July, so the days do not agree.
