Venerable Nicodim of Tismana, a beacon of monasticism in 14th-century Wallachia, dedicated his life to prayer and establishing monastic communities. After a pilgrimage to Mount Athos, he returned with a burning zeal to plant the seeds of hesychastic spirituality. Legend tells of his miraculous discovery of an icon of the Virgin Mary, revealed to him in a dream, which led to the founding of the Tismana Monastery, a place of refuge and spiritual renewal. Let us beseech St. Nicodim to intercede for us, that we may find the same unwavering faith in our daily lives.
