Biography
Biography
• Illustration — Nativity Church in Ternopil It is not known when Stavrovetsky was born. Sometime at the end of 1580s he taught at the Lviv Brotherhood School, after which in 1592 Stavrovetsky moved to Ostrog and Wilno due to persecutions against bishop Hedeon Balaban. In December 1592 along with Ternopil brethren, he vouched for the Lviv Brotherhood in front of Jeremias II of Constantinople. The fact is reflected in inscription over the entrance of the Ternopil Nativity Church. In 1618 Stavrovetsky returned to Pochaiv and for a brief time was hegumen at the small Univ Dormition Monastery (1618). Later he was a hegumen (1618–19) at the Lubartow Monastery near Lublin. In 1621-25 Stavrovetsky was a preacher in Zamość. In 1626 he adopted the Union of Brest and from 1628 to his death he was an archimandrite of Yelets Dormition Monastery.
