Short historical essay about Voyno-Yasenetsky the Saint, doctor of body and soul, bishop and surgeon The article presents the results of the well-known surgeon V.F. Voyno-Yasenetsky, Professor, Doctor of Medical Sciences, the winner of the Stalin Prize, at the same time a political prisoner (11 years of prison and exile), clergyman, bishop of Simferopol and the Crimea, who was recognized by Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate to the faces of the Saints. Much attention is paid to his medical activit, and spiritual activities as a priest. A brief historical-bibliographical excursus of life of bishop Luke is given. The life of the famous surgeon, professor Valentin Felixovich Voyno-Yasenetsky and his path of service to God and people are full of troubles and suffer. For faith and unbelief the authorities tried to crush him, to destroy, to rot in jails and exile, but Luke did not withdraw his beliefs. Conversely, the worse were suffered, the stronger grew his faith, and in spite of everything tempered his indomitable will. Having all this communist hell, Archbishop Luke remained true confession of the truth, and no matter where he was - in a dungeon, at the department near operating table - he was the bearer of faith. Soviet authorities tried to destroy his religious views, but they were bowing to his outstanding mrdical skills. It just so happened that the spiritual path of Voyno-Yasenetsky was rated higher than the way a surgeon, physician-healer. St. Luke is one link in the long chain that has its roots from apostolic times. He loved Christ and the people. He served to the image of God - human, and especially to the suffering, served with incredible love and dedication. St. Luke considered that treatment of patients is the greatest thing, which is an imitation of God himself. St. Luke Crimean became a legend of the XX century, combining seemingly contradictory things: higher education of legendary surgeon and deep faith of the Orthodox bishop. White coat and a black robe were with him until the end of days. He could refuse money, comfort and fame. But he could never step back from his way. Dozens of titles of scientific papers and books, 11 volumes of religious works are left by Bishop. Key words: bishop Luke, surgeon, medical activity, soul, church, teacher, integrity, honesty.
