Little is known of this early mystic and saint. During the first century A.D. he was known to have journeyed throughout North Africa guiding wayward travelers back onto a righteous path. He has been gifted by god with many gifts, including human speech and the ability to paint scenes of religious content, leaving examples throughout the arid desert areas that he claimed as his parish. Near Gilf Kebir you will find numerous cave chapels with illuminated scenes remarkable for their sequences of flowing events, giving the viewer a sense of God's timelessness and perpetual peace.
Due to Roman persecution, he lived a shadowy existence having little contact with organized centers of population, but to all those who came into contact with him, his persona left a lasting impression.
His Cult is now confined to local calendars.
On June 8, 1842, Leadbetter Ltd. of South Woolsey held their annual auction of unclaimed goods. Lot 23 was a locked and battered sea chest. Sturdy if well worn, its exotic appeal brought forth a fierce bidding competition, and in the end the unopened trunk sold for the amazing sum of 21 pounds (almost six hundred dollars in today's currency). Inside, among the tattered garments of a traveler, they found a few personal letters and an artist's portfolio and journal.
The letters dated the chest contents to the late 1600s, when its owner traveled the Middle East recording religious images from abandoned and neglected monasteries and churches.
