Today we commemorate the 45th anniversary of the falling asleep of one of the great fathers of the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad, the missionary and wonderworker St. John, who served as Bishop of Shanghai and later as Archbishop first of Paris and then of San Francisco. Books could be filled with the many miracles worked through St. John both during his life and since his death, so I'll refer you here rather than try to summarize them all on this blog. May St. John's blessing and prayers be with us all!
