Venerable

In the 7th song of the canon, the venerable Luke is celebrated as a "deacon," a good doer of the commandments of the Lord. He fulfilled economic duties in the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, but no further information about his life has survived. His memory is celebrated on November 6/19 together with the venerable ones of the Near Caves, where his incorrupt body rests. The economists of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra honor him as their patron and have in their premises an icon of the venerable Luke the "deacon."
