The power of repentance has transformed this infidel slave, '''St. Moses the Black''' (330-405 A.D.), who was a murderer, adulterer and robber into a great Desert Father, teacher, comforter, and [[priest]], who wrote rules for the [[monks]], and a [[martyr]]-saint whose name continues to be mentioned on the [[altar]] and in our prayers.
His [[feast day]] is on [[August 28]].
