Venerable Nicodim, a beacon of monasticism in 14th-century Wallachia, left his noble roots to embrace a life of prayer and solitude. Guided by divine visions, he established Tismana Monastery, a sanctuary of spiritual resistance against encroaching heresies. He translated sacred texts, fostering literacy, and defended Orthodox doctrine with unwavering conviction. His hermitage became a haven for those seeking God.

Venerable Nicodim, intercede for us, that we may also find the strength to defend truth and build sanctuaries of faith in our hearts. #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Prayer #Monasticism #Faith
