As a young man he took his monastics vows in Zeta, before going to Hilandar monastery, where he later became the hegumen (abbot). While hegumen, he became Bishop of Zeta, and later the Serbian Archbishop. He died on 4 January 1286. His relics are buried in the Patriarchate of Peć.

The Serbian Orthodox Church commemorates him on 4 January according to the Julian calendar, or 17 January according to the Gregorian calendar.
