Our Holy Father Dorotheus.
Commemorated September 16 in the Orthodox Christian Menaion
From the Prologue
An Egyptian hermit of the fourth century, he lived in asceticism for sixty years in a cell in the Thebaid.
He was distinguished by a rare love of labour and by wonderworking power.
By day he built cells for the new monks and by night plaited mats, never interrupting his prayer and psalmody.
From The Prologue From Ochrid by Bishop Nikolai Velimirovich
