Life

Holy Venerable Stephen of Solovki was a "trudnik", that is, a lay labourer in the service of the monastery. The sources consulted preserve no life of him, so no other facts of his time and labours can be given.

He is commemorated, in the new style, on 11 July, a movable date, in the Synaxis of the Saints of Novgorod, and on 22 August in the Synaxis of the Saints of Solovki.
