Sinaite Fathers

The Sinaite Fathers are a group of venerable hesychasts honoured in the Serbian Orthodox Church, of the late fourteenth and the fifteenth century: Romil of Ravanica, Roman the Sinaite, Nestor, Martirije of Rukumija, Sisoes, Zosim of Tuman, Job and Grigorije of Gornjak. They are commemorated on 16 January, old style (29 January, new style), and on 6 May, old style (19 May, new style), the day of the Sinaites of Ravanica.

Each of them also has his own commemoration in the calendar: Romil of Vidin, of Ravanica, on 16 January; Martirije and Job, on 6 May; Nestor, on 17 August; Sisoes, on 7 August; Grigorije of Gornjak, on 7 December; Zosim of Tuman, on 8 August. The sources found preserve few details of their lives.
