Venerable John Cassian, a Scythian native, journeyed to the Egyptian desert seeking spiritual wisdom. He became a monk and later a priest. In Gaul (modern-day France) he established two monasteries near Marseilles, one for men and one for women. He wrote theological works which brought Eastern monastic tradition to the West. His writings on prayer and spiritual warfare are treasured by monastics and laypeople alike.
