Life
Holy Venerable John the Cave-dweller, he of the lands of Babylon, is commemorated on 22 July, in the new style. The Azbyka page gives no life of him: it shows only the title of venerable, the name, the way he is called, "he of the lands of Babylon", and the date of commemoration. The name "cave-dweller" shows that he struggled in a cave.
