About Joasaph of Belgorod

  • Saint Joasaph of Belgorod (Russian: ?????? ????????????; secular name Joachim Andreievich Gorlenko; 8 (19) September 1705 – 10 (21) December 1754) was an 18th-century Russian Orthodox hierarch, bishop of Belgorod from 1748 until his death. His remains were found to be incorrupt, and after many miracles he was glorified by the Eastern Orthodox Church in 1911.
  • Stolen from his shrine in 1917, the saint's body was thought to be lost but was eventually found in storage in a museum and returned to Belgorod in 1991.
