"Venerable Job of Uholka is a great ascetic of the 20th century, who, through his righteous life, humility, and love for God and his neighbors, became a spiritual beacon for many generations of believers in Transcarpathia. His life and feat remind everyone of the power of faith, patience, and prayer, which lead a person to salvation. That is why the day of his memory is especially dear to all who draw inspiration from the example of this holy servant of God», the message states.

Venerable Job was born in 1902 in the village of Iza in Transcarpathia. For his pious life, he received from God the gift of foresight and healing the sick through prayer.
