(January 17)

 

SerbianOrthodoxChurch.net

He was an Albanian, born in the village of Churkli of very poor parents, farm-labourers. Made a target by the Turks for conversion to Islam, he remained steadfast in the Christian faith, for which he was hanged in Ioannina on January 17th, 1838. A great wonder-worker and healer, he is still active today.
