Our father among the saints [[hieromartyr]] '''Philip II of Moscow''' (+ 1569) was one of a few Metropolitans of Moscow (1566-1568) who dared to openly contradict [[laity|lay]] authorities. His memory is celebrated three times a year: on [[January 9]], on [[July 3]] ([[Translation (relics)|translation ]] of his relics), and on [[October 5]] ([[Synaxis of the Hierarchs of Moscow]]).
Initially, the memory of St Philip was celebrated by the Russian Church on [[December 23]], the day of his martyric death. In 1660, the celebration was transferred to [[January 9]].
