Saint Amphilochius (1894–1971) (Ukrainian: Амфілохій Почаївський) was a 20th-century Ukrainian Orthodox saint, from Ternopil oblast of western Ukraine. ==Early years== Amphilochius of Pochayiv was born Yakov Varnavovich Golovatyuk on 27 November 1894〔("Venerable Saint Amphilochius, Wonderworker of Pochaev", Holy Dormition Pochayiv Lavra )〕 in the village of Mala Ilovytsya (Mala Ilowica in Polish), in Shumskyi raion of Ternopil oblast in western Ukraine, at that time part of Austria-Hungary. The village of Mala Ilovytsya is located in the Ilovetska valley, which is wide, and is surrounded by the Kremenets mountains. It is the northernmost village of Ternopil oblast, off the main roads and surrounded by forested areas. A remarkable tree grows in the village, a 350-year-old ash tree. Yakov was one of 10 children. His father, Varnava, was an able craftsman, and experienced bone-setter. Yakov often assisted his father in caring for people who came for help.〔 In 1912 he was drafted into the army of the Tsar. During the First World War he served in Lutsk and then in Tomsk, where he was a medical attendant at the hospital. Later he was posted to the front where a number of his best friends perished, and he was captured as a prisoner of war by the Austrians,〔 though he later managed to flee. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amphilochius of Pochayiv」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
