Life
Saint Hypatius the Healer of the Caves, attained glory through his severe fasting and prayerful vigilance. By night he stood at prayer, slept very little, and ate only bread and water.
Saint Hypatius devoted himself entirely to the service of the sick, and received from God the gift of healing. Those sick with various illnesses often hastened to his prayerful intercession.
The memory of Saint Hypatius is celebrated also on August 28, on the Synaxis of the Saints of the Far Caves.

Icon
Troparion
Тропарь преподобного Ипатия целебника, Печерского, в Дальних пещерах, глас 1
Безначальнаго онаго и тихаго места,/ идеже несть печали, ни воздыхания,/ достигнути, преподобне, желая,/ не дал еси себе зде покоя нимало,/ но присно день и нощь в делех всяких/ и жестоком житии трудолюбно подвизаяся, пребываеши,/ тем желаемого получил уже, Ипатие,/ молися о душах наших.
Kontakion
Кондак преподобного Ипатия целебника, Печерского, в Дальних пещерах, глас 3
Труды ко трудом выну ради Господа прилагая,/ никогдаже обрелся еси празден, Ипатие./ Темже и в лепоту трудолюбив наречеся,/ звание приемь от дел.
