Life

Holy Venerable Martyr Vassian of Uglich, the other of that name, likewise perished in 1609, when Uglich was laid waste by the Poles in the Time of Troubles.

The calendar page gives no other news of him: the name Vassian of Uglich is borne by two venerable martyrs alike. The commemoration falls on 23 May (5 June in the new style), in the Synaxis of the Saints of Rostov and Yaroslavl.
