The desert fathers and mothers were a monastic community in the Egyptian desert starting from the 3rd century AD. In this episode, we discuss Christian monasticism, and what we can learn from the desert fathers and mothers and from monks and nuns today. We read from  the Apophthegmata Patrum, a collection of their sayings and stories. We use an English translation given by Henri Nouwen, in his collection Desert Wisdom: Sayings from the Desert Fathers.The Christian Saints Podcast is a joint production of Generative sounds & Paradosis Pavilion with oversight from Fr Symeon KeesParadosis Pavilion - https://youtube.com/@paradosispavilion9555https://www.instagram.com/christiansaintspodcasthttps://twitter.com/podcast_saintshttps://www.facebook.com/christiansaintspodcasthttps://www.threads.net/@christiansaintspodcastIconographic images used by kind permission of Nicholas Papas, who controls distribution rights of these imagesPrints of all of Nick’s work can be found at Saint Demetrius Press - http://www.saintdemetriuspress.comAll music in these episodes is a production of Generative Soundshttps://generativesoundsjjm.bandcamp.comDistribution rights of this episode & all music contained in it are controlled by Generative SoundsCopyright 2021 - 2023
