Life

Holy Venerable Philip of Solovki was a hermit and is commemorated on 22 August. The Azbyka page preserves no account of his life, only his name, his title as a venerable father and the day of his commemoration. From the epithet it appears that he laboured at the Solovki monastery, on the islands of the White Sea.
