Stephen of Kostroma

Holy Venerable Stephen of Kostroma was igumen of the Saviour monastery in Kostroma. He is commemorated on 14 July, by the old calendar.

The menologion of Dimitry Sambikin says that nothing is known of his life, but his name appears in seventeenth-⁠century calendars, on 14 July, as igumen of the "Saviour monastery in Kostroma". He was not canonized. The Saviour-⁠Zaprudnensky monastery of Kostroma was abolished (in 1691) and it is not known who founded it; the list of its igumens does not include Stephen. Archimandrite Leonid, in "Holy Russia", says that he was buried in the church of the abolished monastery.
