Saint Paul of Obnora was a famed disciple of Saint Sergius of Radonezh. He was born in Moscow in the year 1317. Saint Paul of Obnora distinguished himself from his youth by piety and kindliness towards the poor and the suffering ones and the animals. His rich parents prepared him for marriage and secular Life. Still, at twenty-two years of age, he secretly left his parental home and received the tonsure at the Nativity Monastery on the Volga in the Yaroslav diocese. Believing that communication with people would confuse and divert him from his contemplations, St. Paul asked his teacher to give him a blessing for a hermitage.
