Medieval Hermits (Public Works Hermits) 

This was part of a hidden video link in my Early Medieval Guilds video and about 1k of view found it. But now, since it's Christmas, I am making it public for all of you. Hope you enjoyed this very short video :)

I love how hermits by modern standards are considered strange and smelly people, where as in medieval through to ancient times (considering the one Alexander met) they’re actually usually government employees, pretty wise, and considered like monks

Lmfaooooo i was like “must have missed that video”

Wow, what a beautiful story to hear. Hermits the background i enjoyed it all, now im gonna head to ur other vids thanks to this one. Nice one man

OOoooOOOh so THAT'S where the idea of bridge trolls and their tolls came from!

"Man was born for society. However little He may be attached to the World, He never can wholly forget it, or bear to be wholly forgotten by it. Disgusted at the guilt or absurdity of Mankind, the Misanthrope flies from it: He resolves to become an Hermit, and buries himself in the Cavern of some gloomy Rock. Ah! no, Rosario. No longer sustained by the violence of his passions, He feels all the monotony of his way of living, and his heart becomes the prey of Ennui and weariness” ― Matthew Gregory Lewis

Understandable, have a great day

Many times I have considered being a hermit

Hey that's St. Seraphim! Fellow animal lover. Love him! Seraphim of Sarov, intercede for us sinners!

I was bamboozled.

I was very happy to see St. Seraphim of Sarov featured in this video. He is one of Orthodox Christianity's most beloved and treasured saints!

Very well presented. Hermits in Spain where called Ermitaños, and were monks that decided to go on their own to live into the wilderness. They used to build small stone churches there, called Ermitas, where they lived, far from villages or towns. There are thousands of Ermitas in Spain, many well preserved and still in service. People used to do pilgrimage to this places as a promise to god after some fortunate thing happened in their lifes, or to be married in secret by the Hermit, for young couples that wanted to escape from arranged marriages. Today, there are couples that decide to get married in those Ermitas, and it is considered very romantic. A priest from a village near by the Ermita is usually the one that has the keys, and performs the weddings.

Great video! Just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas
