Prea[[cuviosPreacuvios]]ul '''Pahomie cel Mare''' (292-346) a fost un mare ascet egiptean, în acelaşi timp un Părinte al pustiei şi întemeietor al monahismului [[monahism]]ului de obşte (cenobitic) în Egipt. Prăznuirea lui se face la [[15 mai]].
==LifeViaţa==Pachomius was born to pagan parents in Thebaid Pahomie s-a născut în Tebaida de Jos (Upper EgyptEgipt). There he received an excellent secular education. From his youth he had , din părinţi păgâni, şi a good characterprimit o aleasă educaţie, and he was prudent and sensiblefiind instruit în cele ale filosofiei vremii.
At the age of either 20 or 21Mergând odată cu părinţii în capiştea idolilor, he was called to serve in the Roman armya auzit pe cel ce slujea în capişte zicând către părinţii lui: "Scoateţi de aici pe vrăjmaşul zeilor şi-l alungaţi". It was then that he stayed in a prisonIar preacuviosul (deşi încă nu cunoscuse creştinismul), used to house the new conscriptsbând din vinul jertfei idoleşti, which was run by Christians. He was so impressed by their love of their neighbor that he vowed to become a Christian after his military service endedvărsat.
Thus in Către vârsta de 20 de ani a fost luat cu forţa în armata romană. Aşa, aflându-se într-o închisoare cu ceilalţi recruţi în aşteptarea înrolării, a cunoscut pentru prima dată creştini, care slujeau acolo pe cei bolnavi şi în nevoi. Impresionat de această dragoste pentru aproapele, a început sp se intereseze de creştinism. După încheierea serviciului militar, a mers în cetatea creştină Oxirinhos, din Tebaida de Sus, a cunoscut învăţătura Sfintelor Evanghelii şi adevărurile de credinţă, şi a primit Sfântul Botez, în anul 314 Pachomius was [[baptism|baptized]] and began to practice the ascetic life. Three years later he withdrew to the desert under the guidance of the elder  După trei ani de viaţă acetică, auzind de un pustnic, cu numele Palamon, şi de sfinţenia vieţii lui, s-a dus la el, în pustie, ca ucenic al acestuia, şi, astfel, a ajuns călugăr. Lucrul lui era să toarca lâna şi să o ţeasă, iar, din câştig, dădea săracilor.  According to tradition, after ten years with Palamon he heard a Voice telling him to found a monastic community at Tabbenisi (also Tabenna, Tabbenisiot). He and Palamon traveled there, and subsequently Pachomius had a vision in which an angel came to him, clothed in a schema (a type of monastic garment), and gave him a rule for the cenobitic life. This is significant because up until this time ascetics had for the most part lived alone as hermits, not together in a community. Pachomius' rule balanced the communal life with the solitary life; monks live in individual cells but work together for the common good.
Furthermore, Pachomius was strict with the community of monks that began to grow around him. He gave everyone the same food and attire. The monks of the monastery fulfilled the obediences assigned them for the common good of the monastery. The monks were not allowed to possess their own money nor to accept anything from their relatives. St Pachomius considered that an obedience fulfilled with zeal was greater than fasting or prayer. He also demanded from the monks an exact observance of the monastic rule, and he chastised slackers. Once he even refused to speak directly with his own sister in order that he might maintain his detachment from the world. (He did, however, talk to her through a messenger, and he blessed her desire to become a nun; soon, she had her own all-female monastic community growing up around her.)
St. [[Jerome]] translated the rule of St. Pachomius into Latin in 404, and only this translation survives. The rule of St. Pachomius influenced St. Benedict, the most influential figure in Western monasticism, in preparing his own rule.
