Life
Holy Venerable Philotheus of Mravina, a priest and wonderworker, lived in the tenth century in the village of Mravino, called also Muravievo, in Bithynia in Asia Minor. He was married and had children. He received the rank of priesthood and from then on gave himself to the struggles of prayer, fasting and works of charity. For his holy life God gave him the gift of working miracles. The ascetic constantly fed the hungry and helped the needy. He died in peace, and myrrh flowed from his relics.
The venerable one is commemorated on 28 September.
