Life
The Ten Thousand Ascetics of the Thebaid are a multitude of ascetics of the Thebaid desert in Egypt, commemorated together on 7 August in the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style). The synaxarion on saint.gr gives no narrative about them; the figure of ten thousand points to the countless company of strugglers there.
Commemorated the same day August 7
