Born in Amatunto, Cyprus, of pious and Christ-loving parents. The purity of his life and his zeal for Orthodoxy recommended him to be elected bishop of Amatun after the death of blessed Memnonius. At that time there were still many heathens in Cyprus and Saint Tikhon converted the unbelievers to the faith of Christ with apostolic zeal. He performed miracles from an early age. His father was a baker. Whenever you left him alone in the store, he gave the bread to the poor. Once his father scolded him, and he prayed to God and their granary was filled to the brim. The second time he planted a dry vine shoot, and it grew green and bore fruit. After a long labor in the Lord's vineyard, he moved to His Kingdom around the year 425.
