St. Hilarion

Today is the feast of St, Hilarion, and early ascetic Christian in the desert. He is sort of fascinating. Read more about him here.

Inspired by Hilarion setting up hermit-shop “between the sea and a swamp” in Gaza, I started a drawing about him today. I represented the little hut he built for himself as a birdhouse for the soul. Unfortunately, I don’t think he is likely to make it into the final Suite of Saints. I cannot think of something to represent him.
