The saint behind the name
Patapios
December 8, Venerable, Παπάτιος
Venerable Patapios was born in Thebes of Egypt and embraced the ascetic life in the desert from his youth. Fleeing the fame that his holiness drew, he came to Constantinople, where he lived in stillness and prayer, and many were healed through his intercession; the Church's hymns remember him especially as a healer of the sick.
