Saint John Maximovitch

[Orthodox Andrew]

Could anybody tell me a good book on Saint John Maximovitch? I'm really starting to fell a bond with the Holy Saint.

Oh and a place where I can buy an Icon of him?

Wow! Thanks.

You can see his Holy Relics in San Francisco. My priest used to live there and prayed to him on pilgrimages when he didn't.

Very cool.

One small note. Although many people refer to him as Saint John Maximovitch, saints are not as a rule referred to by their last name but by the city they were associated with or a particular grace they were noted for (Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker, Saint Maximus the Confessor, Saint Nektarios of Aegina/Pentapolis, Saint John of Damascus, etc.).

So it is more proper to refer to him as Saint John of Shanghai and San Fransisco or Saint John the Wonderworker.


John.

Here's a book published by St. Herman of Alaska Serbian Monastery in California (which used to be ROCOR.) That monastery's main publication The Orthodox Word was established with the blessing of St. John.

Here's a link to the book:

It can also be ordered via Amazon.com, but more money will go to the monastery if you order it directly from them.

Looks great! I'll think I will get one, thanks

Out of curiosity. Why are they calling St.John blessed and not Saint?

Old book published before his canonization ?

Could be.

Yes, this is the reason. I'm sure the monastery doesn't have tons of cash to cover redesigns, so I'm sure they're just going with this older cover. The book I believe was published 10-15 years before his canonization.

Yeah, that makes sense.
