The saint behind the name
Onuphrios the Great
June 12, Venerable, Ονούφριος
St. Onuphrios the Great was one of the greatest hermits of the Egyptian desert, living in the fourth century. Leaving his monastery for the inner wilderness, he dwelt alone for some sixty years in utter poverty, unseen by men, clothed only in his own hair and a girdle of leaves, sustained by God in prayer.
