Herman of Solovki

[1] In total, he lived in Solovetsky Islands, at the time, the most remote location, for about 50 years.

In 1429, Herman, who was presumably of Karelian origin, met a monk, Sabbatius, who previously settled near a chapel on the Vyg River.

Together with Zosima, he returned to the islands, and, when eventually the monks started to arrive there, Solovetsky Monastery was founded.

Herman died in Novgorod at the same year, and his relics were to be moved back to Solovetsky Monastery.

However, the monks did not manage to do it during the season, and buried Herman on Svir River.
