Life
Sergii Tyutin was a Russian hieroschemamonk of St Panteleimon Monastery, born in 1869 in the village of Staro-Kostichi, Simbirsk province. He reposed on 13 October 1942. He is venerated by the faithful, without a synodal canonization.
Named Sergei Nikolaevich in the world, the son of Evdokia, he finished the teachers' seminary and taught nearly twenty years at the school of Staro-Kostichi, loved and respected by his fellow villagers for kindness and love. He became a monk on Athos. The Jesus Prayer was his occupation and comfort; before his death, ill and unable to go to church, he said it without ceasing in his cell, and his last words, as his cell attendant said, were Jesus Christ... He reposed on 13 October 1942.
