Lakhmid Desert Hermitage

"Impressive devotion, being a hermit, but what happens when we run out of bread?"

The practices of Arab Christians were quite distinct from those of their Romanised counterparts, emphasising community and an eremitic lifestyle over the more ostentatious, ceremonial religious observance of the Catholic or Orthodox Churches in the west. Monastic communities such as Kellia occupied large parts of the Nitrian Desert, their monks living remote, frugal lives stripped of the encumbrances of the civilised world. Another group, in the Scetes Desert of Egypt, were known as the "Desert Fathers", their hermit lifestyle being documented in the Apophthegmata Patrum - literally the "Sayings of the Desert Fathers". These manuscripts act as a guide for desert hermits, focusing on spiritual practice and conveyed via a dialogue between a younger monk and his spiritual father, which may have been intended as a metaphor for the relationship between man and God.
