description: "Pshoi, Paisius the Great, as he has been known in Europe since the 5th century AD, Bishoy, Bishūy, Bishāy or Bishiyyah, as his name is pronounced in Arabic, known in the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria as the Star of the Desert and the Beloved of our Good Savior, was a Coptic Desert Father. He is said to have seen Jesus, and been bodily preserved to the present day via incorruptibility at the Monastery of Saint Bishoy in the Nitrian Desert, Egypt. He is venerated by the Oriental Orthodox Churches and the Eastern Orthodox Church, and is known in the latter under the Greek version of his name, Paisios."
