Community Gathers to Celebrate Patronal Feast of St. Tikhon’s Monastery
“For love does not seek its own, it labors, sweats, watches to build up the brother: nothing is inconvenient to love, and by the help of God it turns the impossible into the possible .... Love believes and hopes .... It is ashamed of nothing. Without it, what is the use of prayer? What use are hymns and singing? What is the use of building and adorning churches? What is mortification of the flesh if the neighbor is not loved? Indeed, all are of no consequence .... As an animal cannot exist without bodily warmth, So no good deed can be alive without true love; it is only the pretence of a good deed."
-St. Tikhon of Zadonsk
(Taken from the account of the saints life by St. Tikhon of Zadonsk, by Nadejda Gorodetsky)
On Monday, August 13, 2012 the St. Tikhon’s Monastery celebrated the Feast Day of St. Tikhon of Zadonsk, the patron of the monastery.
Several St. Tikhon’s graduates returned to celebrate this holy feast day with the St. Tikhon’s community. Immediately following the liturgy everyone came together once again in the monastery refectory and enjoyed a time of celebration and breaking bread.
