About Saint Luke. Valentin Voyno-Yasenetsky was born in 1877 and became a respected surgeon who wrote a classic text on purulent surgery. After he became a priest and then a bishop, the Soviet authorities imprisoned and exiled him several times. He later served as Archbishop of Simferopol and Crimea and died in 1961. The Russian Orthodox Church canonized him in 2000.
He is invoked as a patron of surgeons and the sick.
