Saints celebrated on the 14th of March
PINUPHIUS, PRIEST AND ABBOT
Pinuphius,, priest and abbot in Egypt, is venerated by the Greeks on November 27.
In order to practise greater austerity and to be able to devote himself to the humiliating work which he loved, he secretly took himself off to Tabenna and lived among the monks there until he was recognised by one of the brothers.
Thereupon he returned to his own monastery. He is mentioned in one of the English martyrologies on March 14.
