Listen "Saint Vitalis of Gaza"
Episode Synopsis
Saint Vitalis is the patron saint of prostitutes and day labourers. He was a 7th century monk in Gaza, and at age 60 traveled to Alexandria to minister to the prostitutes there. He would work as a day labourer, and use his earnings to pay prostitutes to stay home while he read Psalms to them. His work was misunderstood, and he was slandered as an immoral person. Thus Saint Vitalis' story emphasises the importance of not judging others, especially if we do not understand them well.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
