Miron Vetrogon
In ancient times, in Achai he served as presbyter of Miron, who came from a noble family, but a meek man of temperament and pious in behavior. During the persecution of Christians in the temple, they wanted to captivate people and put them to torment. Miron defended himself and accused the persecutors of dishonest intentions, for which he paid with his life - he was seized and tortured, then thrown into a burning furnace.
A miracle happened - the martyr came unscathed from the fire. He did not suffer from wild animals, when torturers threw him into a cage with tigers. The furious pursuer killed himself. The weather on Miron was judged by the day of another saint - Tikhon. Usually there is wind on Miron, morning dew portends good weather. Another name for this day is Widow's Help. Today it is customary to provide assistance to widows and orphans: "At least throw a sliver into the widow's yard."
