Saint Prochorus of Pchinja 11/1/2013
As he fervently prayed to the Lord, He showed him the site of his ascetic struggle. It was a place by the river Pchinja. Saint Prochorus led an ascetic life there until his death in his old age. Only God alone knows about his struggle and all the temptations he had to endure in the course of his life. His myrrh-flowing relics and the numerous miraculous healings that have not stopped to occur to this day, bear witness to the greatness of the grace God had granted him for his great sufferings. Saint Prochorus fell asleep in the Lord and inhabited the Kingdom of Heaven in the 9th century.
