Venerable Timothy of Symbola in Bithynia

Near Mount Olympus, there was a desolate place called Symbols, where a monastery was managed by Archimandrite Theoktistos. Among his disciples was the venerable Timothy, who from a young age dedicated himself to monastic feats, distinguished by fasting, abstinence, and prayer. He mortified the flesh, was averse to passions, and maintained his virginity. Through his prayers, miracles occurred: he healed ailments and cast out unclean spirits. Venerable Timothy wandered for many years through the mountains and deserts, living in unceasing prayer. Having reached a great old age, he departed to the Lord.
