We ask you, urgently: don’t scroll past this

Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources—essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you.

Image of St. John the Iberian

Abbot also called John the Georgian or "the Hagorite." He was a noble of Georgia, sometimes called Iberia, and a military leader. In his middle age, he left his wife and went with his son, St. Euthymius, to Mount Olympias in Bithynia. They then went to Mount Athos in Macedonia and founded a monastery which endured into the twentieth century. John was revered by Byzantine Emperor Constantine VIII.
