Venerable Euthymius the Hieroschemamonk

(20 January/2 February)

St Euthymius lived a pure and silent life imitating the monastic virtues of the saints. By his constant prayers, he attained spiritual communion and became a converser with angels. After he received the schema, he gave himself over to complete hesychia and spoke to no one. The only words that passed his lips were prayers in church or in his cell.
