Summary

The aggravation of church relations and the transition to a visible confrontation between the Ecumenical Constantinople and the Moscow Patriarchate (up to the termination of the Eucharistic communion) is due to the urgent issue for all Ukrainians – the provision of a tomos of autocephaly to the Local Church in Ukraine. For several hundred years of staying in the ROC (as it has recently become evident, this process was absolutely noncanonical), our ancestors actively participated in all aspects of church life and the growth of Orthodoxy on the territory of the Russian Empire.
It is not by accident that many Ukrainians canonized at this time, including the name of the metropolitan of Tobolsk, Ioan (Maksymovych), the last saint of Synodal period. The article aims to investigate what factors have become the bases for his glorification. For this purpose the article gives a brief analysis of the phenomenon of holiness and the criteria by which the deceased was credited to the face of the saints, both in the universal Church and in Rus one. The main chronological facts about burial and the beginning of folk reverence of the memory of St. Ioan (Maksymovych), his relics, the most official churchstate glorification in 1916, the preservation of further memory in atheistic Soviet times and in modern times have been described. On the basis of the results of the work carried out, it can be stated that, like the traditional procedure for recognizing the holiness of the deceased righteous man, his local reverence began with the people of God, those who kept the memory of him related to the place of his burial, as well as in prayer appeal initially for him (Liturgy, the memorial service), and eventually to him: numerous cases of miraculous help of the saint became the proof of this. The Russian state-church machine, which, by that time had forgotten about the “exiled” to Siberia saint, made an attempt to use its canonization in its interests for the uplifting of the people’s spirit after the military failures and the preservation of the territorial unity of the empire. Thus a Ukrainian, famed as a Siberian saint, at the same time became “the last royal saint in house of the Romanovs”.
The prospective for further studies is the research on the life and creative heritage of the Ukrainian saint, an active churchman, missionary and prolific writer-publisher.

Key words: holiness, canonization, praise, saint, metropolitan, Ioan (Maksymovych) of Tobolsk, synodal epoch.
