Venerable Mausimas the Syrian
Saint Mausimas the Syrian lived in Syria, near the city of
Cyrrhus. He voluntarily embraced poverty and devoted his life to the
service of his neighbor. The doors of his hut were always open to anyone
who had need of him.
In his hut there were two vessels: one with
bread, and the other with oil. Anyone in need came to him and received
the food from his hand. These vessels never became empty. The saint died
at the end of the fourth century.
