  PATRIARCH TIKHON
  Basil Belavin, the man who entered the history of the Church as the courageous and steadfast Patriarch Tikhon, was born on January 19, 1865 into the family of a priest. The village where he spent his childhood was situated near Pskov. First he studied at the Seminary in Pskov and then at the St. Petersburg Theological Academy. In 1888 when he was 23 he graduated from the Academy and became a teacher at the Pskov Seminary. In 1891 he was tonsured a monk and took the name Tikhon after St. Tikhon of Zadonsk. Hieromonk Tikhon spent the next years teaching at the seminaries in Kholm and Kazan.
  In October 1897 the 32-year-old archimandrite was consecrated Bishop of Lublin (Poland) the vicar of the Diocese of Kholm. In 1898 Bishop Tikhon was appointed to the diocese of the Aleutians and Alaska. Bishop Tikhon was the only Orthodox bishop on the continent. According to the canons of the Church, all Orthodox Christians on this continent came under his omophor. Thus, his flock was made up of Arabs and Greeks, Russians and Serbs, Eskimos and Aleuts, Indians and Americans.
  Bishop Tikhon traveled throughout North America during his nine-year archpastorate here. He opened up many new parishes in America. He understood that the North American mission could not be only an extension of the Church of Russia. He devoted all his efforts to directing the faithful in America to become a local and autonomous church. He opened the first American seminary in Minneapolis. He established the first American monastery at South Canaan, Pennsylvania. Two auxiliary bishops were conse¬crated — Bishop Innocent (Pustinsky) of Alaska and Bishop Raphael of Brooklyn.
