Hilarion--Lucia_dos_Santos

Hilarion the Great (291–371) was an anchorite who spent most of his life in the desert according to the example of Anthony the Great (c. 251–356). While Anthony is considered to have established Christian monasticism in the Egyptian Desert, Hilarion is considered by some to be the founder of Palestinian monasticism (see also Chariton the Confessor) and venerated as a saint by the Orthodox and the Roman Catholic Church.
