Dear Readers, since I did not meet my fundraising goal a few months ago in the Spring, and currently am facing a bit of a financial burden that may hinder me from working on this website for a while within a few days, I thought it would be best to appeal to your help to meet my goal at this time. My work here depends on your help, so if you find it beneficial or of interest, please send your financial support. It is greatly appreciated.

Venerable Gaius

Venerable Gaius (Feast Day - December 31)

Verses

Gaius endured many divine labors,
And now he has the radiant honors of the labors.

Venerable Gaius met his end in peace.

This may be the Abba Gaius we read about in the Life of Abba Longinus by Bishop Basil of Oxyrhynchos. There we read that Abba Gaius was originally from Corinth and eventually became head of the monastery by the ninth milestone mark from Alexandria, which became known as the Monastery of Abba Gaius, and was included as one of the Hennaton monasteries.
