Age of leaving family for monastery

"юноша в 19 лет тайно ушел на Валаам... Семь лет жил Амос в монастыре как послушник, ведя суровую жизнь... В 1474 году Амос принял постриг с именем Александр." http://days.pravoslavie.ru/Life/life4547.htm The passage "Когда он пришел на Валаам, игумен принял его и постриг с именем Александр в 1474 году. Было ему тогда 26 лет." (http://www.svirskoe.ru/ru/alsvirsky/habitation/index.php) could mean that he came to the monastery earlier and lived several years as lay brother.Ans-mo (talk) 08:13, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
