John the Silent

John the Silent (January 8, 452 – May 13, 558) is a Christian saint. He was born in Nicopolis and after the death of his parents in 471 founded a monastery. In 482 he was made Bishop of Taxara and left the office nine years later to become a recluse in the monastery of St. Sabas.

St. John's feast day is May 13 in the Latin Rite Catholic Church, and March 30 in the Eastern Orthodox and Byzantine Rite Catholic Churches. [http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08495a.htm Saint John the Silent at the Catholic Encyclopedia] ]
