Bishop Theotim of Tomis, a Scythian by birth, lived a life of asceticism and prayer in a cave near the city of Tomis (modern Constanța, Romania) in the 4th century. Known for his humility and miraculous deeds, he was chosen as bishop despite his initial reluctance. A tale recounts how he once replaced his worn-out bishop's vestments with a simple Scythian sheepskin cloak when visiting Constantinople for church matters, demonstrating his detachment from worldly vanity.

Let us pray to Saint Theotim, that he intercedes for us, that we may emulate his virtues of humility and detachment. #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Romania #Prayer #Humility
