Life
Saint Palladius of Alexandria was a native of Thessalonica and struggled in Alexandria at the end of the sixth and the beginning of the seventh century. The Azbyka page gives no other facts about his life.
The troparion appointed for him honours him as a monk who lived in a way pleasing to God, sought the Lord through prayer and fasting, and was a pure dwelling of the Spirit, shining with virtues. The service calls him a teacher of monks.
Saint Palladius is commemorated on 10 December, in the new style.
