'''Saint Pachomius the Great''', born around 292 near Thebes, [[Egypt]], founded cenobitic monasticism, creating the first communal monastery at Tabennisi c. 320. A pagan-turned-Christian after army conscription, he was baptized c. 314 and trained as a hermit before an angel’s vision urged him to build a community. His Rule—balancing work, prayer, and discipline—grew nine monasteries, housing thousands by his death from plague on May 9, 348. His system, influencing Benedict, reshaped desert spirituality, blending solitude with shared life. | '''Saint Pachomius the Great''', born around 292 near Thebes, [[Egypt]], founded cenobitic monasticism, creating the first communal monastery at Tabennisi c. 320.
