MODERN TOWN OF ESNA (ANCIENT LATOPOLIS).

BATTLE SCENE BETWEEN ROMAN SOLDIERS AND GERMANS, CA. 251/252 AD. PACHOMIUS JOINED THE ROMAN ARMY AT THE AGE OF TWENTY.

They felt his sorrows and afflictions as though they were their very own. By feeding the hungry, giving drink to the thirsty and visiting the outcasts in prison, these strangers proved themselves to be true sons and daughters of their heavenly Father (Matt. 25:36 – 40). Pachomius was so moved by their love that he believed in Christ and was baptized around 313. Love for God and love for neighbor would shape his vision of the Christian faith for the rest of his life.
