    St. Auxentios lived in the fifth century and served for a time at the imperial court in Constantinople before forsaking the world for the life of a hermit. He settled on a mountain in Bithynia, not far from Chalcedon, where he lived in a small cell in fasting and prayer, receiving the many who climbed to him for counsel and healing.
