The birthplace and civil name of Abraham Galitzki are unknown. According to the excerpt from his hagiography, Galitzki originally worked in the Nizhny Novgorod Caves monastery, from where he moved to the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra. After some time, with the blessing of Sergius of Radonezh, Galitzki went to the Galich princedom, where he founded the first monastery in the Galich region, named Abrahamiev Novozaozersky () in honor of the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos on the north-east shore of Galich Lake. In the legend of Galitzki it is said that he settled in the domain of Prince Dimitry of Galich, who possessed Galich in the years 1360-1363. Later Galitzki founded another three monasteries: one of them is Gorodets monastery in honor of the Protection of the Holy Virgin located on the northern shore of Lake Chukhloma.АВРААМИЙ ГАЛИЧСКИЙ, in Orthodox encyclopedia Retrieved on 6 Mar 2018Icon of the Mother of God “Chukhloma” from Galich Retrieved on 6 Mar 2018Авраамий Галичский Retrieved on 6 Mar 2018
