About Saint Euthymius. Euthymius was born in 377 in Melitene, in Lesser Armenia, now Malatya in Turkey. He lived as a solitary monk in the Judean Desert and founded or helped establish several monastic communities there, including the monastery of Theoctistus. He supported the decisions of the Council of Chalcedon in 451, and his influence helped many monks of the region accept it.
Sabbas came to Palestine in 457 and was sent by Euthymius to the monastery of Theoctistus.
Choose this candle for a monastery or parish, a pilgrim to the Holy Land, a man named Euthymius or Efthymios, or a reader of the desert fathers.
