Saints John, Theophilus, Andrew, Heraclemon.

Few information about these saints can be found in the life of the saint.
Onuphria. It was composed by the Monk Paphnutius.
Paphnutius had the opportunity to spend with Onuphry the last days of the elder’s life.
Despite the great desire to continue life in the desert, the Lord blessed him for another feat — to tell people about the Thebaid elders.
On the way to his monastery, Paphnutius found himself in an oasis with a clean spring and a variety of trees. There he met four young men. They said they were learning literacy together. Instead of a primer, they had gospels. As a result, they believed deeply. After graduation, the boys decided to go into the desert. They spent 4 days there when they met a man in unusual, radiant clothes. He led the young men to an oasis. Since then. They’ve been there for 6 years. Their names were Andrew, Theophilus, Heraclemon, John.
The boys spent the whole week alone. Only on Saturday and Sunday did they gather together to sing the psalms of prayer and fellowship. The angel of God visited them, brought bread and wine, and conducted the sacrament of communion. Paphnutius was lucky to be there during this miracle. Next week, he continued on his way. Arriving at the monastery, the monk described everything he had seen and heard during his journey.
So we have the names of four young men who chose to serve the Lord.
