Isidore of Scetes

Saint Isidore of Scetes (born c. 4th century - died c. 390) was a 4th-century A.D. Egyptian Christian priest and desert ascetic.

Isidore was one of the Desert Fathers and was a companion of Macarius the Great. John Cassian lists him as the leader of one of the four monastic communities of Scetes. The Roman Martyrology describes the blessed Isidore as renowned for holiness of life, faith and miracles. His feast day is 15 January.
