- The monk known as Reverend Ilia Muromets whose relics are stored in Kiev Pecharsky Monastery was canonized in 1643. At the time there was no doubt that he was the epic Ilia Muromets. This is also the official point of view of the Orthodox church. But in fact nothing is known about this monk. There are visible wounds on the relics and he probably died from one of them. He is also rather tall for his time - about 177 cm - and has traces of backbone illness that could have left him paralyzed. But many scientists argue that the epic Ilia Muromets is a kind of a fairy-tale character and has no real prototype - only the name could be taken from some real warrior and there could be a great many of them since any Ilia who was born near Murom or served there could be named this way. --AGP 16:39, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

I read bylina, where three unnamed piligrims come to Ilya's house when he was alone and ask for food and drink, but Ilya answer "I can't walk". Then piligrims ask again and again. At third time Ilya get off from stove where he lied. If you read russian you can use bylins Sorry my english. --hinotf 09:55, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
