Venerable #Sophian of Antim, as a young monk, faced a severe test of obedience. His elder commanded him to plant a dried-up stick in the ground. Despite its barrenness, Sophian obeyed without question, watering it daily. After three years, the stick miraculously sprouted and grew into a fruitful tree, a testament to his unwavering faith and obedience to God's will.

Holy Father Sophian, pray to God for us!
