The hegumeness passed away in 1547, but her gravestone, found in 1989, dates to the 17th c. The gravestone was discovered together with that of nun Theophania (died 1611). Both the stones were objects of veneration as early as the 17th \u2013 18th cc., since hegumeness Elena was revered as a local saint. Analysis has shown that her grave could indeed be located in the vicinity of the stones. The article quotes the data collected in the beginning of the 18th c. by the commissions authorized to counteract the worship of the local saints unless they were officially canonized.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>L.A.
