Stylianos Of Paphlagonia
Stylian of Paphlagonia (Latin: ''Stylianus'', Greek: Στυλιανός), also known as Stylian the Hermit, is venerated as a saint from Adrianopolis in the province of Paphlagonia (modern Turkey). Life Stylian of Paphlagonia was born in Adrianopolis sometime between AD 400 and 500. He distributed his inheritance among the poor and left the city to live in a monastery. His zealous devotion and asceticism provoked jealousy on the part of other monks, so he left the monastery to live as a hermit in a cave in the wilderness, where he spent his time in prayer and fasting.
