Sabas[1] (439–532), in Church parlance Saint Sabas[2] or Sabbas the Sanctified (Greek: Σάββας ὁ Ἡγιασμένος), was a Cappadocian Greek monk, priest, grazer[3] and saint, who was born in Cappadocia and lived mainly in Palaestina Prima.[4] He was the founder of several convents, most notably the one known as Mar Saba, in Palestine. The saint's name is derived from Imperial Aramaic: סַבָּאSabbāʾ "old man".[5]
