Venerable Nicodim, a beacon of monasticism in 14th-century Romania, founded the Tismana Monastery. Legend says, while searching for a suitable location, his donkey collapsed from exhaustion near a spring. From that spring, Saint Nicodim created healing water, a place where the monastery was later built. His dedication to prayer, calligraphy, and community shaped Orthodox life, influencing countless souls toward spiritual perfection.

O, Venerable Nicodim, intercede for us that we may emulate your devotion.
