Commemorated on May 13, October 12
The
Monk Tarasii of Glushetsk was hegumen of a monastery, built by Sainted
Stephen of Perm (Comm. 26 April), and he zealously spread and affirmed the
Orthodox faith among the Zyryani people.
In
1427 under the successor of Saint Stephen, Bishop Gerasim (Comm.
29 January), the Monk Tarasii voluntarily gave up leading the monastery
and went to the Glushetsk monastery under the guidance of the Monk Dionysii.
Saint
Dionysii, seeing the deep humility of Tarasii, accepted him. The former hegumen
Tarasii toiled equally alongside the novices at the monastery and he led a
strict ascetic life. The monk was buried at the Dionysiev monastery (+ 1440).
