The saint
St Kirill of BelozerskBorn in Moscow in 1337 and given the name Kosmas at baptism, Cyril entered monastic life at the Simonov Monastery, where in time the brothers elected him archimandrite in 1388, a post he found increasingly at odds with the solitude he actually wanted; as more people sought him out for guidance, he withdrew from the monastery's leadership into his own cell rather than continue governing it.Read the life ›Questions
