Biography

Kassian was a Russian Orthodox presbyter who dedicated his life to spiritual ministry and service to his faith community. He was an important figure in the religious life of the Russian émigré population.

Following the upheaval of the Russian Revolution, Kassian continued his pastoral work among displaced Russians in Western Europe. He was buried at Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois Russian Cemetery, a sacred ground for many Orthodox faithful who found refuge abroad.
