Life

Holy Venerable Sergius of Oyat was the father of Saint Alexander of Svir. He is commemorated on 15 June (old style, in the calendar of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church) and in the Synaxis of the Saints of Saint Petersburg.

The calendar of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, the only source consulted, gives only the name, the region of the river Oyat, the rank of venerable, the link with Saint Alexander of Svir and the day of commemoration; no years or details of his life survive.

Commemorated the same day June 15
