Sfintii Parinti care au fost ucisi in Muntele Sinai si Rait, sunt sarbatoriti pe 14 ianuarie. Au trait in secolele IV si V si au fost omorati de barbarii din Arabia si Etiopia. Parintii din Muntele Sinai isi petreceau zilele in chilie, pentru dobandirea linistii. Avva Antonie spunea in acest sens, ca precum pestii care stau la uscat mor, tot astfel si calugarii care stau in afara chiliei, isi pierd linistea. Se adunau in biserica si faceau impreuna priveghere de noapte numai sambata seara spre duminica, iar dimineata, la Sfanta Liturghie se impartaseau cu totii. Vederea lor era ingereasca, pentru ca se topisera trupurile lor de infranare si de priveghere; caci vietuiau ca si cand erau lipsiti de trupuri, neavand nimic din cele ce s-au obisnuit a aduce placere si patimi. Isi hraneau trupul cu putine finice sau muguri de stejar. Unii mancau o data pe zi, altii in a doua sau a treia zi, iar altii numai o data pe saptamana isi intareau trupul neputincios cu hrana.
