Saint '''Tikhon of Zadonsk''' (1724-1783) was born in the village of Korotsk, in the [[Novgorod]] region, [[Russia]]. He received the monastic habit at the age of thirty-four. He was later consecrated Bishop of [[Voronezh]]. He served as bishop for a little under seven years and retired to the [[monastery]] of [[Zadonsk]] and lived there until he died. His relics were kept there and due to the reports of the many miracles that occurred near his relic he was made a saint by the [[Russian Orthodox Church]] in 1861. His feast day is celebrated on [[August 13]].
