Saint Eusebius the Hermit was a fourth-century Syrian monk.[1][2]
Eusebius undertook a rigorously ascetic lifestyle without shelter near a mountain village named Asicha.
According to Eastern Christian sources:
Though he was elderly and infirm, he ate only fifteen figs during the Great Forty day Fast. When many people began to flock to St. Eusebius, he went to a nearby monastery, built a small enclosure at the monastery walls and lived in it until his death.[3]
Saint Eusebius the Hermit of Syria is commemorated 15 February by the Eastern Orthodox and Byzantine Catholic Churches.
