Life
Saint Pimen, Faster of the Caves, labored in the Far Caves. His abstinence was such that he ate food only once a day, and only in the most necessary quantity. His outward fasting corresponded to an inward abstemiousness from any actions, thoughts or feelings, displeasing to God. Saint Pimen was igumen of the Kiev Caves monastery from 1132 to 1141. A second commemoration of the saint occurs on August 28.

Тропарь преподобного Пимена, постника Печерского, в Дальних пещерах
глас 8
Постом душу твою просветил еси, / молитвами непрестанными сердце твое сосуд Духа Святаго соделал еси, / преподобне отче наш Пимене; / темже вся вражия ополчения крепко посрамил еси / и, яко победоносец истинный, / воздаяние получил еси от Христа Бога. / Тому помолися о душах наших.
