In today’s Saint Story for Kids, we learn about Saint John Theristus, a humble monk known as “The Reaper.”

Saint John was born in southern Italy in the 11th century during a time of conflict between cultures. His father was captured and taken away, and John was raised with faith and strength by his mother.

He became a monk and was known for:

Working in the fields with great joy

Providing food for the poor

Living a simple and holy life

Being a bridge between Eastern and Western Christian traditions

He earned the nickname “Theristus,” meaning “reaper,” because he worked in the harvest fields and miraculously helped feed his monastery.

In this episode, children will learn:

Why simple work can be holy

What humility looks like

How saints build unity

How God uses ordinary lives for extraordinary grace

Saint John Theristus reminds us that holiness often grows quietly through faithful daily work.
