Vitalius

Venerable Vitalius was a monk who lived according to God at the beginning of the seventh century and fell asleep in peace. There is no particular biography of him.

We know only of an ascetic of this name, mentioned in the life of Saint John the Almsgiver, who belonged to the monastery of Abba Seridos and who, when he went to Alexandria to sell the work of his hands, gave the money he earned to a fallen woman, asking her not to sin, as Saint Nicodemus the Hagiorite recounts.

He is commemorated on 11 January, according to the new calendar.
