Saint Luke of Crimea

Saint Luke of Crimea is also known as Saint Luke of Simferopol or Saint Luke the Surgeon. He lived in the years 1877-1961. He was an incredibly accomplished surgeon and scientist, who,after the death of his wife became an Eastern Orthodox priest and eventually an archbishop. Saint Luke lived through the collapse of the Russian Empire, and the rise of the communist Soviet Union. While the Soviet authorities respected Saint Luke's medical and scientific skill, they nevertheless persecuted him harshly for his faith. He had three stints in prison totaling 11 years. The Christian Saints Podcast is a joint production of Generative sounds & Paradosis Pavilion.
