Born in Melitene, Armenia, he became one of the great desert fathers of Palestine. His teachings and guidance led many to a life of holiness and repentance. He was also known for healing the sick and performing miracles through the power of God. His feast day is celebrated on January 20th, commemorating his holy life and enduring legacy in the Orthodox Church.
