St Auxentius of Bithynia Biography
St Auxentius of Bithynia was a career soldier and a guard of Emperor Theodosius the Young. He was known to preach to his fellow guards. He eventually left the service to become a hermit on Mount Oxia.
Many people were attracted to his holiness and teaching and hence a community of nuns formed at Trichinarion near his mountain.
