Saint Zosimas was, together with the venerable Adrian of Volokolamsk, a founder of the Sestrin monastery at the mouth of the Sestra river in northern Russia. They lived in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
The two fell asleep in peace, and their relics were laid in the church of the Dormition of the Mother of God in the Sestrin monastery. No other details are preserved. They are commemorated on 8 May, according to the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style).
