Our father among the saints '''Tikhon of Zadonsk''' (1724-1783) was born in the village of Korotsk, in the [[Novgorod]] region, Russia. He received the monastic habit at the age of thirty-four. He was later consecrated Bishop of Voronezh. He served as [[bishop]] for a little under seven years and retired to the [[monastery]] of Zadonsk and lived there until he died. His [[relics]] were kept there and due to the reports of the many miracles that occurred near his relic he was made a saint by the [[Church of Russia|Russian Orthodox Church]] in 1861.
He is remembered by many as the "Russian [[John Chrysostom|Chrysostom]]." His [[feast day]] is celebrated on [[August 13]]. The first opening of the [[relics]] of St Tikhon of Zadonsk is Commemorated on [[May 14]]
