Nikon the Dry

Nikon the Dry was an 11th-century monk at the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra in Kievan Rus'.

Nikon, before his freedom was gained, informed his enslaver that Jesus would release him from bondage in three days.

Nikon was referred to as "the Dry" due to his intense practice of fasting.

Nikon the Dry died in 1101 and is commemorated on the date of his passing to eternity, 11 December, in the Eastern Orthodox and Byzantine Rite Catholic Churches.
