Saint Sabbas came from the village of Moutalaski of Cappadocia. He was the son of noble parents. From a young age, he learned the divine commandments and decided to embrace the monastic life. When he was eighteen years old, he left the monastery of Flavian and went to Jerusalem. From there, he headed to the desert of the East so that he could meet Saint Euthymios the Great. Euthymius sent him to a coenobitic monastery under the direction of Saint Theoktistos. During his stay at the monastery, Saint Sabbas shone on account of his character and many virtues. As he became older, he only cultivated his spiritual life even more, and for this reason God worked many miracles through him. In 534 AD, at the age of ninety-four years old, he reposed in peace. His holy relics are incorrupt and can be found in the monastery that bears his name in Jerusalem. His memory is honoured on the 5th of December. This original icon was painted on Mt. Athos, by the monks of the Holy Koutloumousian Cell of Saint John the Theologian.
