Xenophon of Robeika (Russian: Ксенофонт Робейский, romanized: Ksenofont Robeysky; died June 28, 1262) was a Russian Orthodox monk, later declared a saint (made venerable). Xenophon took his monastic vows at the Lisitsky Monastery from Abbot Varlaam around the year 1200. Xenophon later became hegumen (abbot) of the Khutyn Monastery. Resigning from this post, he later founded the St. Nicholas Monastery on the Robeika River, close to Novgorod. He died there in 1262.[2] and his relics were placed in the monastery's church, which later became a parish church.[3]
