Saint Sergius of Radonezh (born May 3, 1314, Rostov, Russia—died Sept. 25, 1392, Radonezh, near Moscow) was a Russian Orthodox monk whose spiritual doctrine and social programs made him one of Russia’s most respected spiritual leaders. His monastery of the Trinity became the Russian centre and symbol of religious renewal and national identity.
He was tonsured a monk in 1337 and later was ordained a priest. His chapel retreat in the forest of Radonezh became, by 1354, a spiritual centre traditionally known as the Sergian monastery of the Trinity (now Sergiyev Posad). The religious house contributed to Russia’s economic and cultural recovery by the establishment of monastic schools after the ravages of 13th-century Mongol invasions. It also served as a centre of missionary activities in northern Russia, establishing as many as 75 monasteries.
