20 A Short Hagiography of the Venerable Theodoret martyrs of the XX century. Until, in 1996, the dream of the Kola Hermit was fulfilled - the first autonomous Murmansk diocese was established in Great Lapland. Nor is it surprising that, with the blessing of the first diocesan bishop, the Bishop of Murmansk and Monchegorsk, Simon, the first Kola saint to be canonized, in 2003, with the rank of Venerable, was Theodoret, the enlightener of the Kola Peninsula, with 17/30 August declared as the day on which he was to be commemorated. Let us recall prince Andrey Kurbsky’s inspired lines, which might have been addressed to us living today: “With God’s help, maybe one day I will find sufficiently spiritual men, who will wish to listen to my account of the deeds of this glorious man. Then we will remember many things both about his marvelous visions, and his terrible prophecies, and his great miracles, ofwhich only the spirit­ ual can tell the spiritual with benefit”1. We hope that the time described by Prince Andrey has arrived and Orthodox Christians of the Kola North, joyfully honoring the memory of the Venerable Theodoret, “will remember about his marvelous visions, and his terrible prophecies, and his great mira­ cles”, and will draw close in prayer to the spiritual heritage of the great saint of the XVI century, the apostle of Great Lapland - the Venerable Theodoret, Enlightener of the Kola Peninsula. Kurbsky. P. 347.
