Life
A disciple of Saint Anthony the Great. By the holiness of his life he turned many sinners to the path of repentance (such as Saint Taïsia, October 8th). He resembled a bodiless angel more than a bodily man. He fell asleep in the Lord at the end of the fourth century.
From the Prologue from Ochrid by St. Nikolai Velimirovich, March 27. Translated by Marcian Sakarya, CC BY-SA 4.0.
