St Paul the Hermit

Paul's parents showed him how to love God and worship Him with his whole heart.  After his parents died they left Paul all of their money and property, making Paul very rich.  During the year 250 the ruler of Egypt decided he did not like people who loved God, so Paul had to hide from the ruler because he loved God and loving God was not allowed.  To escape the ruler of Egypt, Paul ran away and hid in the desert. Paul loved living his life in the desert, he spent his time praying and He felt so close to God.  So He decided to stay in the desert and never returned to his rich city life.  People who live like this are called Hermits and Paul was the first Hermit.
