Product Description

SAINT EUPHROSYNOS THE COOK, OF ALEXANDRIA St. Euphrosynos lived as an ordinary monk in the 9th century and was very simple and faithful, humbly serving as the cook of the monastery in which he lived. One night the spiritual father of that monastery dreamt that he was in Paradise where he was surprised to see St. Euphrosynos there, who gave him three beautiful apples from a tree there. Following this, St. Euphrosynos fled the monastery to the desert for the rest of his life, fearing the praise of men.
