Our Holy Fathers Bassian and Jonah.
Commemorated June 12 in the Orthodox Christian Menaion
From the Prologue
Monks of the monastery of Solovetz, they were drowned and cast onto the shore in 1651. A sign appeared over their graves, and a church was built there. Later, the monastery of Petrominsk was founded on the site. Once Tsar Peter the Great, sheltering from a storm at sea, spent three days there and made a Cross, which he erected on the shore.
