His father, however, insisted that he marry. Once, Ioann asked his father's permission to see his [[confessor]] in the Uspensky [[Monastery]] in their native town of [[Staritsa (town), Tver Oblast|Staritsa]] near [[Tver]]. Upon his arrival in 1551, Ioann immediately took [[monastic vows]] and assumed the [[religious name]] of Job.
