Venerable Eusebius, A Syrian Hermit     2/28/2013

In the beginning Eusebius lived an ascetical life under the direction of holy men and later he withdrew and became a recluse. He fed entirely on plant life. He did not even taste fruit. He spent all of his time in prayer in the open spaces enduring all conditions of weather. He lived to be ninety-five years of age and died peacefully in the year 440 A.D.
