Memorial Day of St. John Climacus

Little is known about the life of St. John. He was born around the 570s to the Christian family of Xenophon and Mary. God rewarded John with the abilities of foresight and miracles. Once he saved his disciple Moses when he lived in the desert. But John’s main merit is the writing of a work called “Ladder,” which was translated as “Ladder.” In his work, John described the ways of becoming on the righteous path in order to get to heaven “by the steps of the ladder.”
