Hilarion is known to us from the biography of him written by Saint Jerome, who learned about him from Saint Epiphanius of Salamis, who knew Hilarion personally. Hilarion was born in Palestine and studied in Alexandria, becoming a Christian there at the age of 15. His life was a series of moves from one place to another in search of solitude, which was constantly thwarted by his reputation for miracles. He eventually found peace in Cyprus, where he died at the age of 80. - MTR. Music from SoundCloud. Photo by Finding Dan | Dan Grinwis on Unsplash
