Saint Tychon came from Little Russia. During his military service, he suffered greatly from the violence of the Latins, to the point that he decided to relocate to Moscow. There, he began to live a life of deep piety.
He distributed his possessions to the poor, became a monk, and settled near the Lukov River. He founded a skete and gathered many disciples around him. He struggled through fasting and prayer, living an ascetic life marked by self-restraint.
Having foretold his departure to the heavenly Kingdom of God, he offered counsel to his disciples.
He fell asleep in the Lord on 16 June 1603.
His relics were discovered many years later. Τhrough their grace numerous miracles began to occur.
Through the faith and care of Christians, a monastery was founded at the place where the saint had practiced asceticism.
