October 27 Memorial Day of Saint Nicholas Sviatosha, Chernigov, Pechersk, Prince, Miracle Worker, in the nearby caves Monk Nicholas Sviatosha (Sviatoslav), Prince of Chernigov, Miracle Worker of Pechersk, in the nearby caves († 1143), was the great-grandson of the Grand Duke Yaroslav the Wise and the son of Prince David Sviatoslavich From Chernigov († 1123), in some sources he is called the father of the summoner. The saint was a prince of Lutsk, he had a wife and children (his daughter later married the prince of Novgorod, the noble saint Vesvolod-Gabriel († 1138; immortalized on February 11). On February 17, 1106, the holy prince, leaving his family, took the Monist-Poucher Church here in St. Kiev. Nicholas-Sviatosha lived very obediently in modesty: for three years he worked in the kitchen, for which he cut wood and carried water, for the next three years he was a gatekeeper in the monastery. At his own expense he built the Church of the Holy Trinity and a hospital church in the monastery named after Saint Nicholas, his heavenly patron. Saint Nicholas was the first of the Russian princes to receive the nuns. He patiently endured his brother's reproaches for his determination to lead the life of an unresponsive novice. The saint's physician, Peter, demonstrated to the ascetic prince that such a feat of obedience would harm his health. But suddenly the doctor himself fell ill and was cured only through the prayers of St. Nicholas. Then Peter took monastic vows. After going through various commandments, Saint Nicholas took a vow of silence. When the saint received money, he used it to decorate the temple, to buy books (because he liked to read books), or distributed it to the poor. Saint Nicholas was a zealous peacemaker. In 1142, he reconciled the princes of Chernigov with the Grand Duke and Sevolod. Shortly after the saint's death, his brother Prince Izyaslav fell seriously ill. The abbot sent the monk's hair shirt to the sick man. Iziaslav put it on and was cured.
