# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born around 292 AD, Pachomius became the architect of cenobitic monasticism — the model where monks live, work, and pray together under shared rule rather than as isolated hermits. His Vita Pachumii records his name as Pachumius in Greek, though Coptic churches know him simply as Pakhōm. He died on 9 May 348 AD, and the date stuck: Coptic churches mark his feast on 9 May, while Eastern Orthodox and Catholic traditions honor him on 15 or 28 May. Lutherans pair him with Anthony of Egypt on 17 January, remembering both desert saints as renewers of the church.
