Life

Justo (Just of Tęgoborze, also called Just-⁠Jodok) was a hermit who settled in the vicinity of the village of Tęgoborze, near Nowy Sącz in Poland, and he died around 1009. He was a disciple of Saint Andrew Świerad. He is honored as a saint in the Roman Catholic Church and remembered on 17 July.

Our source is very brief: it shows only that he was a hermit in that region, a disciple of Andrew Świerad, and that he reposed around 1009. We have no other details of his life, miracles or relics.

He is a local saint of the West, who died before 1054; no Orthodox synodal canonization is known. The information is very scant.
