Life

Holy Hierarch Theognius of Kyiv is commemorated as metropolitan of Kyiv and Moscow. The calendar of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church commemorates him on 14 March (old style), in the synaxes of the saints of Bryansk, Volhynia, Kyiv and Moscow.

The calendar of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, the only source consulted, gives only the name, the title of metropolitan of Kyiv and Moscow, the day of commemoration and the synaxes; no years or details of his life survive.
