Moses
Arab saint and bishop
Feast: 7 February (not on the universal Roman calendar; kept in the Roman Martyrology or local calendars)
Who they were
Moses or Saint Moses spent many years in the 4th century as a hermit on the fringes of the Roman empire between Egypt and Syria, before becoming the first Arab bishop of the Arab people. As he was well respected for his piety, faith, and alleged performance of miracles, Mavia, an Arab warrior-queen, made his consecration as bishop over her people a condition of any truce with Rome.
