| Saint Gregory,
Iconographer of the Caves, was a colleague of Saint Alypius of the
Caves. In the "Accounts of the holy Iconographers" it says that he
painted many wonderworking icons throughout the Russian Land.
In the Ninth Ode of the Canon of the Service of
the Synaxis of the Kiev Caves Monastics, Venerated in the Near Caves,
Saint Gregory is called a "Byzantine." This probably means that he was
among the number of iconographers who had come from Constantinople to
Kiev to embellish the Great Church of the monastery, dedicated in honor
of the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos.
