The Venerable Monastics

The Church calls a monastic saint "venerable": a monk or nun who left the world for a life of prayer and asceticism. Some, the stylites, lived on pillars to pray and fast better. Below are the monastic saints whose lives Orthros carries, each with the day of their feast.

Among them

159 lives of venerable monastics, by the day of their feast
