Google Translate interestingly insists on "reverend" for "преподобный." Must be a glitch. |

Prepodobny/prepodobnaya is the customary title given to monastic saints who lived to old age, but the word simply means venerable (worthy of reverence). In English, the term venerable old XXXX has been in use for many centuries. |
