Life Of St. Hilarion

Life of St. Hilarion

by Saint Jerome

The Life of St. Hilarion by Saint Jerome is a biography of the founder of Palestinian monasticism. Hilarion was born in Gaza to pagan parents, but converted to Christianity after hearing of the life of St. Anthony the Great. He spent most of his life living as an anchorite in the desert, and was known for his extreme asceticism and piety. The Life of St. Hilarion is a valuable source of information on the early history of Christian monasticism, and provides insights into the life and thought of one of its most important figures.
