St. Pausicacus was born in a noble and pious family. When he was a child, he began to live as an ascetic and at the age of 25 he became a monk. Living on only a little water and bread, Pausicacus was given a gift of healing, and he began to cure bodily and mental illnesses. The Patriarch called the monk to Constantinople and ordained him a bishop, appointing him bishop of Synnada, which was north of Phrygia. As soon as Saint Pausicacus became a bishop, he began to banish heretics and freethinkers and people who persisted in immorality from his congregation. When he became famous in Phrygia by his care of his congregation, he traveled to Constantinople, where he healed the Emperor Maurice of his illness. For this, the Emperor gave Pausicacus’s province a reward. Saint Pausicacus died in 606 and his feast day is on May 26.
