Hieromartyr Lucian the Presbyter of the Kiev Caves

Commemorated on October 15.

Saint Lucian the Presbyter lived in the XIII century, and suffered martyrdom under Batu around 1243. Nothing else is known about him.

Saint Lucian's relics are in the Far Caves of Saint Theodosios, and his Feast Day is on October 15, because of his Patron Saint, Hieromartyr Lucian, the Presbyter of Antioch. He is also commemorated on August 28 (Synaxis of the Saints of the Kiev Caves, whose relics repose in the Far Caves of Saint Theodosios); and again on the second Sunday of Great Lent (Synaxis of all the Venerable Fathers of the Kiev Caves Monastery).
