✤ Commemoration of our venerable father in Saints Joasaph, Metropolitan of Moscow (+ 1555 AD) ✤

Of the nobility. He became a monk in the Monastery of Saint Sergius of Radonezh and became its abbot in 1529. Prince Basil Ioannovich had great respect for him, so he made him Metropolitan of Moscow in 1539 AD. His integrity made some boyars (local princes) envious of him. If they were unable to corrupt him, they moved the people against him. They wanted to kill him, but he ended up in one of the villages. In his last days, he was interested in reforming liturgical books. He rested in peace in the Monastery of the Holy Trinity on July 27, 1555 AD.
