Peter of Chagra

Venerable Peter of Chagra lived between 1856 and 1925, in the Samara region of Russia. The sources at hand do not preserve details of his life, ascetic labours and veneration, beyond the dates of his birth and death.

He is honoured as a venerable father, that is, a monk who pleased God by an ascetic life, at a time when the Russian Church was entering the great trials of the twentieth century.
