Translation of the relics of Saint Tikhon of Luchov, Kostroma

Commemorated on June 26.

In the year 1569 the healing of many sick persons began at the tomb of Saint Tikhon of Lukhov, and his holy relics were found to be incorrupt. However, Igumen Constantine, who uncovered the relics, was struck blind. After repenting and then recovering his sight, he placed Saint Tikhon’s relics back into the ground. The veneration of Saint Tikhon dates from this time. His Life with a description of 70 posthumous miracles was compiled in the year 1649.

Saint Tikhon of Lukhov is also commemorated on June 16 (his blessed repose in 1503).
