Paradise, or Garden of the Holy Fathers (Book 2)

by Palladius

Paradise, or Garden of the Holy Fathers (Book 2) by Palladius is a collection of stories about the lives of early Christian monks and nuns who lived in the desert of Egypt. These Desert Fathers, as they are known, embraced a life of solitude, prayer, and asceticism, seeking to live in close communion with God. Palladius' work offers a glimpse into their daily lives, their spiritual struggles, and their profound insights into the Christian faith. This book provides valuable historical and spiritual insights into the early Church and the development of monasticism.
