Calendar for June 18 Venerable Petar of Koriški
A native of the village of Unjemir (Ujmir) near Peć. He was unusually meek and unemotional. With his sister Jelena, he went away to asceticism very early. And he asceticized devotedly and persistently. He overcame many demonic temptations. Over time, when he became famous, a multitude of monks gathered around him, whom he taught the ascetic life. Fleeing from human fame, he took refuge for a while in Crna Reka, where Saint Joanikije of the Virgin also later asceticized. In old age, he reposed in his cave in Koriška. That night when he reposed, angelic singing was heard from his cave and light shone. He lived in the 13th century. Emperor Dušan built a church over his relics. The rest of his relics were recently transferred to the Black River Monastery.
Hieromartyr Dorotheus, Bishop of Tyre. Venerable Theodore the Hermit. Venerable Anubias. Blessed Igor, Prince of Chernigov and Kiev. Blessed Constantine, Metropolitan of Kiev.
