Bose-Convegno: Pacomio, alle origini della vita comune

The Bose Monastery will dedicate its 2026 International Conference on Orthodox Spirituality to Pacomio. The conference will examine the origins of common life associated with him.

Tradition identifies Pacomio as the father of Koinonia, or Communion, and links his name to the birth of cenobitic monasticism. He was a pagan who encountered the faith while serving in the imperial army, likely in 312.
