Icons of St. Tikhon,
Archbishop of North America, Patriarch of All the Russias
Feast: Mar. 25
Born in the Russian Empire, St. Tikhon was
North America's first archbishop, where he fostered multiethnic
Orthodox Christian unity and English language missionary outreach.
Returning to Russia, he was chosen as Patriarch when the patriarchate
was restored in 1917, and led the Russian Church through her darkest
and most terrible hours of martyrdom and destruction. He died under
house arrest and is accounted a holy Confessor of the Faith.
