Titus of the Caves

Holy Venerable Titus of the Caves, a former soldier, rests in the Far Caves (the caves of Saint Theodosius) of the Kiev Caves Lavra. In the world he had been a soldier and in one battle was gravely wounded in the head. After recovering he came to struggle in the Kiev Caves Monastery, where he wept over his sins.

He received word from God of the forgiveness of his sins and departed with joy toward the heavenly dwellings. He is commemorated on 28 March (a movable date) in the Synaxis of All the Venerable Fathers of the Kiev Caves, on 12 March (a movable date), and on 10 September in the Synaxis of the Venerable Fathers of the Kiev Caves in the Far Caves, in the new style.
