Venerable Erasmus of the Kiev Caves
Also known as Erasmus of the Near Caves · Erasmus of the Kiev Near Caves
A monk of the Kiev Near Caves who spent all his wealth adorning the church with icons. Falling into poverty and despondency, he was near despair, but the Mother of God appeared to him; he repented, was tonsured to the great schema, and reposed in peace. Also commemorated September 28 with the Fathers of the Near Caves.
