Paul of Thebes planned to flee the persecutions of Decius temporarily, but the solitary life convinced him to remain a hermit. Living up to 113 years, he was often visited by a Raven, which supplied him with bread, and before his death, St. Anthony the Abbot, who was buried him. Paul is often regarded as the first hermit in Christianity.
