| − | A '''stylite''' is one who lives on a pillar (''style'' in Greek). These holy [[saint]]s would remove their bodies from the ground for days, months, or even years in order that they might [[prayer|pray]] and [[fast]] better. This did not mean that they were cut off from the world. On the contrary, many people came from far and wide to learn from them.
