Tryphon of Rostov

Holy Hierarch Tryphon of Rostov, a bishop, was before his ordination abbot of the Novospassky Monastery in Moscow and confessor of Grand Prince Basil II the Blind. On 23 May 1462 he was consecrated bishop of the see of Rostov by Metropolitan Theodosius of Moscow. In 1466 he withdrew to the Saviour Monastery in Yaroslavl, where he passed to the Lord on 30 December 1468; some local calendars give the year 1466.

In the same monastery is buried Saint Prochorus, in the schema Tryphon, also a bishop of Rostov, who died in 1328. The commemoration of Saint Tryphon was moved to 1 February, probably because of his name, which is the same as that of the holy martyr Tryphon. He is commemorated on 5 June in the Synaxis of the Saints of Rostov and Yaroslavl, in the new style.
