Life
He practiced asceticism in the second half of the eleventh century in the Osogovo Mountains, at a place called Sarandapor, in a cave. At that place a church was later built by another ascetic, Theodore of Ovche Polje, to whom Saint Joachim appeared in a dream. Many miracles have occurred through the centuries from the relics of Venerable Joachim, and they continue to occur even today.
