    Venerable Mark, Jonah, and Bassa of the Pskov Caves
    Mar 29 2026
    Today we remember Saints Mark, Jonah, and Bassa, the founders of the Pskov Caves Monastery. These early ascetics lived in natural caves by the Kamenets stream, a place locals called the 'holy hill.' Their lives and deeds laid the foundation for a spiritual community that continues to inspire.Saint Mark was the first known elder, living in the caves with little known about his origins. Later, Father John, who became Saint Jonah, and his wife Bassa, who became a nun, joined this holy place. Their faith and miracles, including the consecration of the cave church and the protection of their relics, mark their lasting legacy.
