Abstract
Abstract Pillar saints were anchorite recluses, also called Stylites from the Greek word stylos : pillar, who lived on pillars and remained on them until the end of their lives. The pillar became their hermitage which, by being on top of it, helped them to spend days and nights in prayer and fasting.
