stylite

on the rock of stylos that today is called the rock of holy spirit the priest-monk gregorios and saint athanasios were settled. gregorios remained there an entire decade and this was the reason he was called stylite.

c’est au rocher de stylos (colonne), appelé aujourd’hui rocher du saint-esprit, que se sont installés athanase et grégoire. ce dernier a demeuré là—bas une dizaine d’années d’où son surnom «stylite».
