Holy Harmless
Saint Innocentios, Ioannis Alekseevich Borisov, was born on December 15, 1800 AD. within the village of Elets, Orel Province, Russia, and got here from a priestly household.
His mother and father had been named Alexios and Akylina and so they raised little Ioannis with schooling and recommendation from the Lord. In 1819 AD he efficiently accomplished his research on the Orel seminary and entered the Kiev theological academy, from which he graduated in 1823 AD.
Ioannis spent days and nights learning the holy texts and the Fathers and was very busy writing sermons on the divine phrase. His love for the solitary life leads his steps to the monastery, the place he turns into a monk and receives the title Innocentios.
A little bit later he’s invited to show on the St. Petersburg theological academy and in 1826 AD. he’s ordained an archimandrite. On November 21, 1836 AD, on the Feast of the Assumption of the Virgin, he was ordained Bishop of Zigirinsk, within the Kiev area.
Within the years 1841 – 1842 AD it was transferred to town of Vologda and from 1842 AD. till 1848 AD in Kharkiv Diocese. In 1857 AD, after the demise of the Bishop of Chersonos and all of Tauridos, he turned Bishop of this province.
He faces many issues from the Tatar tribes and the Jews. The Saint does his greatest to avoid wasting temples and monasteries from destruction and encourage the folks. Within the Crimean Struggle, extra troopers defend town with preventing spirit and loyalty.
His magnanimity of soul and pastoral motion are proven when he himself visits the wounded, the sick and the sick from the typhoid illness, caring for them. He was for each earthly angel and comforter.
Thus, after ministering theophilously to his flock, Saint Innocentius slept in peace in 1857 AD.
