He practiced asceticism in the so-called Old Cave or the Lavra of Chariton the Great in Palestine. Having loved Christ the Lord with all his heart, soul and mind, from his youth he began to travel to holy places and listen to the teachings and advice of holy people. Finally he settled in the Cave of Chariton, where he devoted himself to hard asceticism, spending days and years in fasting, prayer and vigil, constantly thinking about death and learning humility. Like a well-ripened fruit, he was harvested by death and transferred to Paradise. He lived and reposed in the 8th century.
