Sainthood
Evfimy's Life appeared in a menion (monthly books of saint's lives and services) as early as 1494 and he was formally canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church's Moscow Council of 1549. His feast day is March 11 OS/March 24 in the Gregorian Calendar. Upon disinterring his remains, they were said to have been incorrupt. His body now lies in a glass-covered sarcaphogus in the Church of St. Evfimy in the Viazhishchskii Monastery after the church was dedicated to him by Metropolitan Aleksei of Leningrad and Novgorod (now Patriarch of Moscow) on March 31, 1990. A new church dedicated to Evfimy and Archbishop Gennady also stands in the cemetery at Kovoleva just east of St. Petersburg.
