Our Holy Father John the Solitary
(June 19)

SerbianOrthodoxChurch.net He lived the ascetic life near Jerusalem in the sixth century. His asceticism brought him to a high degree of purity and spiritual power, so that the wild beasts were obedient to him. He entered into rest in the Lord in 586, at a great age.
