Pitirion

Venerable Pitirion was an Egyptian monk, a disciple of Saint Anthony the Great, from whom he took virtues and gifts. His self-⁠restraint was famed for the severity of his fasting, for often he stayed entirely without food with no harm to his health or spiritual strength.

When the monks told of apparitions of demons, he said he feared more the demons that find a place in the heart through pride, love of money, love of pleasure and other similar passions, for these are the most dangerous. He fell asleep in peace. He is commemorated on 29 November (new style).
