Zosima
Sts. Zosima and Mary of Egypt
Our venerable and God-bearing father Zosima (Zosimos or Zosimas) was a holy monastic who encountered St. Mary of Egypt in the desert during the sixth century. He brought the story of her life back to the brothers at his monastery. He is commemmorated on April 4 as well as on April 1, alongside Mary of Egypt.
