Zosima Worbozomski was an Eastern Orthodox monastic saint who lived in the 16th century. A former disciple of Cornelius of Komel, he sought solitude on an island within Lake Vorbozomskoye, located south of Belozersk. There, he established the Annunciation Monastery, which became a gathering place for his followers. Historical records, including a charter from Prince Mikhail Andreevich, confirm his presence and the land granted for his desert retreat. He is remembered as a spiritual leader whose writings survived through his disciples.
