St. Serapion was born in Sydona and lived in Egypt in the 4th century. He proved to be a leader in works of philanthropy and almsgiving, sharing not only his wealth to the poor but also what his faithful visitors gave him for himself. He dedicated himself to spreading the word of God in many different ways. When he once fell victim to robbers, with the persuasion that distinguished him, he managed to turn the events around and make the robbers servants of God. He also managed to convert to Orthodoxy the precorite Manichaean the Lacedaemonius, to whom he was sold as a slave. In the end he returned to his beloved dessert, where he peacefully slept in a very old age. His feast day is on March 21.
