October 28 Memorial Day of St. John of Suzdal, Bishop St. John, Bishop of Suzdal, from a young age entered one of the monasteries in the city of Suzdal. For his excellent and modest life, the saint was installed as the first bishop of Suzdal and Nizhny Novgorod in 1350. Bishop Yohanan received the great grace of God: during the divine liturgy, Prince Boris Konstantinovich of Suzdal saw how the angel of God ministered to the saint. Saint John is known for his love for the poor and the sick; In the name of the poor, he petitioned the princes to reduce taxes, and established charity houses and hospitals for the sick. The saint took great care to enlighten the pagan Mordovians with the Christian faith. After the annexation of Suzdal to Metropolitan Moscow, St. John accepted the scheme and retired to the Bogoliovsky Monastery. There he lived in solitude and died peacefully. Many healings were observed at the Holy Sepulcher.
