The saint behind the name
Joshua the Son of Nun
September 1, Saint, Ιησούς του Ναυή
The righteous Joshua, son of Nun, was the servant and successor of the Prophet Moses. He was one of the twelve spies sent into Canaan and, with Caleb, alone trusted that God would give the land to His people. After the death of Moses he led Israel across the Jordan, took Jericho, and divided the land among the tribes.
