Folk and church holidays
On this day, the Orthodox Church honors the memory of Jonah – Archbishop of Lvov and Velikonovgorod, Abbot of the Otenskaya Hermitage. At the age of three, Ion is left without a mother, and four years later his father died. Therefore, the pious widow Natalya Medovartseva is engaged in raising the child, who instilled in the young pet the Christian faith.
Jonah was involved in organizing orphanages, the disadvantaged and widows and was known for his miracles, which he performed with God’s help.
It was he who stopped the epidemic, which had previously claimed the lives of 250 thousand people. In 1549, Jonah was canonized at the Makaryevsky Cathedral. There is a statement that even after his death, the powers of Jonah helped to work miracles.
