Life
Venerable Theodore of Egypt died around 340, a Coptic monk and hermit of the time of the emperor Constantine the Great. Very little is known of his life. He was a disciple of Saint Amun and one of the first desert fathers in the Nile region. Saint Athanasius of Alexandria and Saint Gregory the Great mention him in their writings. In the Catholic Church he is commemorated on 7 January (new style).
