St Tikhon the Bishop of Voronezh and Wonderworker of Zadonsk and All Russia

The saint lived in very simple circumstances: he slept on straw, covered by a sheepskin coat. His humility was so great that he paid no attention to the workers who laughed at him as he walked about the monastery, pretending that he did not hear it. He often said, “Forgiveness is better than revenge.”
