Life of the Holy Hermit
Not much is known about him. He was born in Italy. Even in his youth, he came to the Symbols monastery in Asia Minor and decided to remain there as a novice. In the 7th-8th century, the abbots were Theostirictus of Symbolia and Plato of Studium. Among the monks there were other famous personalities.
The life of Saint Timothy consisted of following the rules and foundations of Christianity. The God-fearing and godly lifestyle aroused special admiration among the brethren. In his free time from prayer, he copied church books and compiled collections of them. When his mentor Plato became elderly, he handed over the reign to Timothy.
The best article for you, go to: Hieromartyr Peter (Zverev) of Voronezh
He spent a long time wandering through forests and mountains, as well as as a hermit. All the time he offered prayers to the Lord. Having achieved the highest degrees of perfection, he was given the opportunity to:
- expulsion of evil spirits;
- healing from illnesses.
He joined at a fairly mature age. There is no news about the burial place and relics at this time. They were lost over such a long period of time. Memorial Day falls on March 6th. Many people try to visit the temple and light a candle, and also ask for help.
How does Saint Timothy help?
There were a lot of followers of Christian teaching, called saints, in ancient times.
The first of them can be called the apostles - the closest disciples of Jesus Christ, who had an extremely responsible mission. It consisted in preaching Christianity in all cities and countries.
These were special people; the Holy Spirit descended on them. One of the holy apostles bore the name Timothy, which translated from Greek means “who worships God.”
Childhood and youth of the righteous
The devotee of piety, who will be discussed in this article, was born in the Lycaon region of Asia Minor. His father was a vicious pagan, his mother was a virtuous woman named Eunice, originally from Jewish lands.
She, as well as the grandmother of the future Apostle Lois, who was no less righteous, played a leading role in the formation of the personality of Saint Timothy. From early childhood, the boy absorbed, like a sponge, the teachings of two pious women, rejecting everything vicious inherent in his father.
However, the latter passed away when Saint Timothy was still young.
The upbringing and teaching of literacy to a young boy took place in the city of Lystra. This place later became famous for being one of the areas where the holy apostles carried out their sermons, and also as the homeland of the ascetic of piety Timothy, who became one of the disciples of Jesus.
According to legend, the young righteous man entered the true path thanks to the Supreme Apostle Paul who came to Lystra. He arrived in the homeland of Timothy along with another disciple of Christ, Barnabas. This event is described in the holy book “Acts of the Apostles” on behalf of the Divine Luke: “they withdrew, he says, to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and their surroundings” (Acts 14:6).
The arrival of the holy apostles was marked by a miracle performed by the ascetic of piety himself, Paul. The supreme apostle healed a lame man from birth with just one word. The inhabitants of the city were in amazement after what happened and were inclined to think that, under the guise of people who possessed an amazing gift, the gods had descended to earth.
And having realized their error and learned the truth, seeing that Paul and Barnabas were messengers of God, preachers, many rejected paganism and converted to Christianity.
The mother of the future saint, by that time a widow, received with particular joy the appearance of the apostles in the city. She sheltered the preacher Paul, surrounded him with care, comfort, and, in the end, entrusted the righteous man with teaching her own son. The Chief Apostle accepted Timothy, seeing in the young man a grain of goodness and meekness.
Icon of Saint Timothy
But he needed to continue his mission, and it was not possible to take with him a righteous man who was still very young and weak in body.
Therefore, Saint Paul left the youth in the care of skilled teachers, whose duty he charged with familiarizing young Timothy with the Holy Scriptures, so that he would understand the essence of the Christian doctrine.
The apostle himself was seized by the Jews, beaten for preaching, and the saint hastily left the city of Lystra.
Introduction
Timothy (c. 17 - c. 80) - apostle from the seventy, beloved disciple of the Apostle Paul, first bishop of Ephesus. Two pastoral letters of the Apostle Paul are addressed to Timothy (1st Epistle to Timothy, 2nd Epistle to Timothy), which are included in the New Testament.
Timothy is also mentioned in the first verses of 2 Corinthians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 Thessalonians and 2 Thessalonians and Philemon, which most likely means that Timothy wrote these letters with Paul's words. It is possible that he was a co-author of some of them.
The Holy Apostle Timothy came from the Lycaonian region (Lycaonia is the south-eastern region of Asia Minor. Christianity was planted here by the Holy Apostle Paul), and received his upbringing and education in the famous city of Lystra (Lystra is a city in Lycaonia, on its border with Isauria.
Now on the site of Lystra is the village of Latik, or Ladik), which became famous not so much for the abundance of earthly fruits as for this God-planted fruitful branch.
This young shoot grew, however, from a not entirely healthy root: for just as a fragrant rose grows from thorns, so Saint Timothy descended from an unbelieving Greek, who was known for his pagan wickedness and was so mired in vices that his son later surpassed all people in virtues and high morality.
The mother and grandmother of Saint Timothy were Jewish, both holy and righteous, adorned with good deeds, as the holy Apostle Paul testifies to this in the words: “I desire to see you, remembering your tears, so that I may be filled with joy, bringing to mind your unfeigned faith , which formerly dwelt in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice; I am confident that it is also in you” (2 Tim. 1:4-5).
Timothy is one of the most faithful and beloved disciples of the Apostle Paul
Timothy was converted under the influence of the preaching of the Apostle Paul in Lystra during his first journey (Acts 14:5-22), around 48 - 49. Timothy was one of the most faithful and beloved disciples of the Apostle Paul.
How does prayer before the icon of St. Timothy help?
Paul calls Timothy “my beloved and faithful son in the Lord,” “our brother and servant of God.” On his second journey, Paul again visited Lystra and this time took Timothy with him (Acts 16:1-3).
Timothy, despite his youth, carried out a number of important assignments for the apostle - he preached to the Thessalonians (1 Thessalonians 1-6), and instructed the Corinthians in the faith (1 Cor. 4:17). When sending Timothy to the Philippians, Paul says of him: “For I have no one equally diligent who cares for you so sincerely... his faithfulness is known to you, because he served me like a son to his father in the gospel” (Phil. 2:19 -23).
Apostle Timothy - Bishop of Ephesus
Having been released from his first imprisonment in Rome, the Apostle Paul undertook a trip to the East with Timothy.
In the year 65, the Apostle Paul ordained the Apostle Timothy as bishop of the Ephesian Church, which Saint Timothy ruled for 15 years.
The Holy Apostle Paul, being in prison in Rome and knowing that he was facing martyrdom, called his faithful disciple and friend of the Apostle Timothy to his last meeting (2 Tim. 4:9).
When Paul was again imprisoned in Rome, Timothy visited him in prison. After Paul's death in 67, Timothy returned to Ephesus.
Martyrdom of the Apostle Timothy. Holy relics. Memory
There is no reliable information about the last years of the Apostle Timothy; tradition reports that the Apostle Timothy, like his teacher the Apostle Paul, died as a martyr around the year 80.
In Ephesus, the pagans celebrated a festival in honor of idols and carried them around the city, accompanying them with unholy rituals and songs.
Holy Bishop Timothy, zealous for the Glory of God, tried to stop and admonish people blinded by idolatry, preaching to them the true faith in Christ. The pagans, in anger, rushed at the holy apostle, beat him, dragged him along the ground, and finally stoned him.
In the 4th century, the holy relics of the Apostle Timothy were transferred to Constantinople and placed in the Church of the Holy Apostles. The Holy Church honors Saint Timothy among the 70 apostles. The memory in the Orthodox Church is celebrated: - February 4 (January 22, old style);
- January 17 (January 4, old style) on the day of the Council of the Apostles from seventy.

Icons have always been and will be faithful helpers for every believer. They not only protect our home from enemies, but also give us the opportunity to become purer spiritually and closer to God.
The icon of St. Timothy is a fairly common image that appeared long before the arrival of Christianity on Russian soil. This is a symbol of faith and love for God in many Catholic countries. In Orthodoxy, this image is valued no less, despite its lower prevalence.
History and description of the icon
This icon was painted in honor of the great Saint Timothy, who lived in apostolic times. Timothy of Ephesus is a disciple of the Apostle Paul. Timothy was inspired after seeing Paul heal a sick man. He dedicated the rest of his life to Christ and his teachings.
Timothy carried out the instructions of St. Paul. Together they carried the word of God throughout the world, increasing the number of Christians and spreading goodness and grace. All this happened in the 1st century, immediately after the death of Jesus Christ on the cross. Serving people was a very dangerous occupation because the world was still pagan. People were afraid of everything new, and rulers were even more afraid of losing their power.
As a result, Timothy was appointed bishop in the city of Ephesus. More than 10 years later, Timothy was killed by pagans who tortured him.
Around the 4th century, images of the holy martyr Timothy began to appear, in which he was depicted in full height or waist-length. Ancient icons are distinguished by their full image. Now almost all icons are written differently. Timothy holds a scroll in his hands, which personifies holy scripture.
Timothy's name day according to the Orthodox calendar
The saint can also be depicted holding a cross in his hands.
Where is the icon of St. Timothy
This icon is in Moscow, in the Church of Elijah the Prophet, which is located in Kitay-Gorod. There is a very ancient image of Timothy of Ephesus in Domodedovo, in the Moscow region, in the Church of the Exaltation of the Cross. In the Church of St. Nicholas in Shchepi, Timothy is depicted together with Saint Thaddeus in full growth. Very few temples can be found with the image of Timothy. There are no churches left dedicated to him.
Celebration date
Timothy of Ephesus in the Orthodox faith is remembered with prayers on January 17, February 4. These days, at services they remember his exploits and self-sacrifice, which we will never forget.

Excerpt characterizing Timothy of Ephesus
- We'll see there. Again they were silent. “You come in if you need anything, everyone at headquarters will help...” said Zherkov. Dolokhov grinned. - You better not worry. I won’t ask for anything I need, I’ll take it myself. - Yes, well, I am so... - Well, so am I. - Goodbye. - Be healthy... ... and high and far, To the homeland... Zherkov touched his spurs to the horse, which, excitedly, kicked three times, not knowing which one to start with, managed and galloped, overtaking the company and catching up with the carriage, also to the beat of the song . Returning from the review, Kutuzov, accompanied by the Austrian general, went into his office and, calling the adjutant, ordered to be given some papers related to the state of the arriving troops, and letters received from Archduke Ferdinand, who commanded the advanced army. Prince Andrei Bolkonsky entered the commander-in-chief's office with the required papers. Kutuzov and an Austrian member of the Gofkriegsrat sat in front of the plan laid out on the table. “Ah...” said Kutuzov, looking back at Bolkonsky, as if with this word he was inviting the adjutant to wait, and continued the conversation he had begun in French. “I’m just saying one thing, General,” Kutuzov said with a pleasant grace of expression and intonation, which forced you to listen carefully to every leisurely spoken word. It was clear that Kutuzov himself enjoyed listening to himself. “I only say one thing, General, that if the matter depended on my personal desire, then the will of His Majesty Emperor Franz would have been fulfilled long ago.” I would have joined the Archduke long ago. And believe my honor that for me personally to transfer the highest command of the army to a more knowledgeable and skilled general than me, of which Austria is so abundant, and to relinquish all this heavy responsibility would be a joy for me personally. But circumstances are stronger than us, General. And Kutuzov smiled with an expression as if he was saying: “You have every right not to believe me, and even I don’t care at all whether you believe me or not, but you have no reason to tell me this. And that’s the whole point.” The Austrian general looked dissatisfied, but could not help but respond to Kutuzov in the same tone. “On the contrary,” he said in a grumpy and angry tone, so contrary to the flattering meaning of the words he spoke, “on the contrary, your Excellency’s participation in the common cause is highly valued by His Majesty; but we believe that the present slowdown deprives the glorious Russian troops and their commanders-in-chief of the laurels that they are accustomed to reaping in battles,” he finished his apparently prepared phrase. Kutuzov bowed without changing his smile. “And I am so convinced and, based on the last letter with which His Highness Archduke Ferdinand honored me, I assume that the Austrian troops, under the command of such a skillful assistant as General Mack, have now won a decisive victory and no longer need our help,” said Kutuzov. The general frowned. Although there was no positive news about the defeat of the Austrians, there were too many circumstances that confirmed the general unfavorable rumors; and therefore Kutuzov’s assumption about the victory of the Austrians was very similar to ridicule. But Kutuzov smiled meekly, still with the same expression, which said that he had the right to assume this. Indeed, the last letter he received from Mac's army informed him of the victory and the most advantageous strategic position of the army. “Give me this letter here,” said Kutuzov, turning to Prince Andrei. - If you please see. - And Kutuzov, with a mocking smile at the ends of his lips, read in German to the Austrian general the following passage from a letter from Archduke Ferdinand: “Wir haben vollkommen zusammengehaltene Krafte, nahe an 70,000 Mann, um den Feind, wenn er den Lech passirte, angreifen und schlagen zu konnen. Wir konnen, da wir Meister von Ulm sind, den Vortheil, auch von beiden Uferien der Donau Meister zu bleiben, nicht verlieren; mithin auch jeden Augenblick, wenn der Feind den Lech nicht passirte, die Donau ubersetzen, uns auf seine Communikations Linie werfen, die Donau unterhalb repassiren und dem Feinde, wenn er sich gegen unsere treue Allirte mit ganzer Macht wenden wollte, seine Absicht alabald vereitelien. Wir werden auf solche Weise den Zeitpunkt, wo die Kaiserlich Ruseische Armee ausgerustet sein wird, muthig entgegenharren, und sodann leicht gemeinschaftlich die Moglichkeit finden, dem Feinde das Schicksal zuzubereiten, so er verdient.” [We have quite concentrated forces, about 70,000 people, so that we can attack and defeat the enemy if he crosses Lech. Since we already own Ulm, we can retain the benefit of command of both banks of the Danube, therefore, every minute, if the enemy does not cross the Lech, cross the Danube, rush to his communication line, and below cross the Danube back to the enemy, if he decides to turn all his power on our faithful allies, prevent his intention from being fulfilled. Thus, we will cheerfully await the time when the imperial Russian army is completely ready, and then together we will easily find the opportunity to prepare for the enemy the fate he deserves.”]
