St. Thalassius & Limuneus
Feast day: February 22
Death: 5th century
Two hermits who lived for many years in a cave near Cyrrhus (modern Syria). Limnaeus also spent time with St. Maro. He built two houses for the blind and was a noted healer. Knowledge of them comes from the historian and bishop of Cyrrhus,Theodoret
Bishop Theodoret of Cyrrhus (Syria) also records information about his contemporaries Thalassius and Limnaeus in his Philotheus . He was endowed with extraordinary gifts of the Holy Spirit. His disciple Saint Limnaeus was famous for miraculous cures of the sick, while he himself bore patiently the sharpest colics and other distempers without any human succor. He opened his enclosure only to Theodoret, his bishop, but spoke to others through a window
