St. Luke of Crimea - Valentin Voino-Yasenetsky (1877-1961) - Archbishop of Simferopol and Crimea, a world-renowned surgeon and one of the most venerated saints of the 20th century. His life united two seemingly different callings: he saved men's bodies on the operating table and their souls at the holy liturgy. During the Soviet persecutions he was arrested and exiled to Siberia multiple times, but he abandoned neither medicine nor his episcopate - he operated on prisoners, wrote scientific papers, and secretly served divine services.

His handbook "Essays on Purulent Surgery" was awarded by the Stalinist regime because it saved countless lives during the Second World War. He was canonized in 2000. His feast day is June 11. The faithful throughout the Orthodox world come to his icon with prayers for healing from illness, especially serious surgical cases and oncological conditions.
