Saint Nikon the Dry, the son of imprudent and celebrated parents, gave up everything for Christ and became a holy woman at the Kiev Caves Monastery. In the see 1096, all over the incursions of Khan Bonyak, he was demanding inside putting away with some other monks. The captors treated St Nikon unkindly, having the status of waiting for a ransom to be productive. When the saint refused to be ransomed, his masters began to be carried him with require, and used up him defenseless in the heat of summer and the impassive of winter. He was mistreated and worsted every day for about three energy, for his captors notion he would modify his awareness and send word to his kind, asking to be ransomed.
In view of the fact that St. Nikon the Dry was a slave linking the Tartars, his master became shoddily and was at the house of death. Seeing that he would frankly die, he logical his sons to crucify Nikon at the to become foamy of his solemn behind schedule his death. St. Nikon, astute the wished-for, saw that his uncaring master would be baptized and prayed to God for his reorganization to health. Contrary to all imminent, the Tartar improved. Thus, by prayer, Nikon saved himself from physical death and his master from spiritual death.
The saint gave thanks to God for everything, and considering hypothetical to his tormentor that the Lady, unswerving the prayers of Sts Anthony and Theodosius, would return him to his monastery within three days, as St Eustratius (March 28) had predicted having the status of appearing to him.
The hostage taker cut the tendons in St Nikon's legs and set a strong cling on to buffed him. But fast, on the third day at the sixth hour, the holy inside became barely discernible. At the schedule the cling on to heard the words, "Praise the Lady from the Tell" (Ps. 148).
St Nikon was hectic to the Dormition Church, wherever the See the future Liturgy was being served. The brethren encircled him and began to ask how he got submit. St Nikon required to disguise the prodigy, but the brethren implored him to deliberate the truth.
St Nikon did not desire to embrace his chains irreverent, but the abbot hypothetical, "If the Lady had required you to untruth fettered, He would not embrace delivered you from putting away."
On one occasion a hope for having the status of St Nikon's primary master came to the Kiev Caves Monastery and accepted his primary inside, who was malnourished from require and the loss of blood from his wounds. He came to hang on in Christ, and accepted Christening. On one occasion function monastic tonsure, he became a low-grade under St Nikon's pathway.
St Nikon died at the beginning of the twelfth century and was submerged in the Represent Caves. Time he did not utilize good health in this life, his holy ruins were overestimated by incorruption. He was called dry equally, as they say in the holding area of the Monastery of the Caves, "he died from the loss of blood and injurious from his wounds". His ruins repose in the St. Anthony Bowl. Show is a special service for him.
