Desert Fathers, Early Monasticism

History of Christians from the 2nd to 3 rd centuries, the Roman violence against Christians, the fight against infidelity ideology, the practice of corrupt church, and loose spiritual discipline penetrated many areas of Christian faith. Some leaders try to control their own beliefs by strengthening their personal power and influence on politics and others who believe in the world to keep spiritual purity Some people try to get rid of the dark.

Not only the church but also the abbey is the heart of Anglo - Saxon 's Christian life. The whole Western monastery has developed from the father of the desert, but in the 7th century AD the British monastery faced a dilemma. The traditions of the two monasteries were Celtic and Rome, and they decided to adopt the Roman tradition. The monastery seems to explain all the religious congregations except bishop.

The father of the Christian monastery is the desert St. Antonio (251-356), the first of desert ancestors. "You must sell what you have and give it to the poor, and you will gain treasure in heaven" (Matthew 19:21). He crossed the Nile, lived alone, prayed and crossed the hill near Pispill living in poverty. Soon many people gathered around him to imitate his life living as a hermit in a cave near the mountain, and at 305 he taught his abstinence to his followers It appeared from loneliness. He then entered the desert further at Mount Korzim near the Red Sea. A second group of hermits gathered there, later forming a monastery. He lived there for 45 years until he died in 356
