The fifth Builder Isaac, the son of the pious Priest named Procopius, was given to the Sarov Hermitage by his father in his youth. His father himself settled down with him. Both, jealous of the great examples of asceticism, showed themselves worthy of being an example for others; tonsured into monasticism by the second Builder, Dorotheus. Since 1751, Isaac, who ruled the monastery for seven years, was promoted to Archimandrite at the Kozlov Trinity Monastery; from here he was transferred to the Nizhelomovsky Kazan Monastery; He died and was buried in the Skane desert. During his time in Sarov, two churches were illuminated: the first in the name of the Most Holy Theotokos of Her Life-Giving Source, in 1764 on August 18; the second under the mountain behind the monastery at the entrance to the caves, at the source, in the name of St. John the Baptist, in September 1752, 13 days; Yes, in 1756 the Holy Gates were built and above them the Church of St. Nicholas of Christ, which was consecrated in 1758 June 4 days.
