Our father among the saints Theognostus the Greek was Metropolitan of Kiev, Moscow and all Russia. He succeeded St Peter (August 25 and December 21) as Metropolitan, holding this office from 1327 until 1353. It was through his influence that the Grand Prince Simeon sent money to the Byzantine Emperor John Cantacuzene for repairs to the Great Church of Hagia Sophia. He is remembered by the Church on March 14.
