Saint Onuphirus

A man with a long beard, holding a staff and a scroll in his hands, stands before a landscape with three high mountains, trees, and hills.  

St. Onuphrius is considered one of the Desert Fathers, the first generation of Christian ascetics who lived as hermits and whose way of living was an inspiration for the development of monastic life. Onuphrius is believed to have lived and worked during the fourth century.
