About St. Moses the Black

Feast Day: August 28
Patron of: Africa, converts, nonviolence, reconciliation, the falsely accused, reformed thieves, desert monasticism

St. Moses the Black’s journey from feared gang leader to beloved monastic saint reveals the radical power of God’s grace. Born in Ethiopia in the fourth century, Moses once led a band of violent robbers in Egypt. After fleeing persecution, he found unexpected refuge in a monastery—where a profound interior conversion began. With tireless perseverance, Moses embraced a life of prayer, fasting, and humility, gradually becoming one of the most respected Desert Fathers. His hard-won wisdom made him a sought-after spiritual guide. When raiders threatened his monastery, Moses chose to stay, embracing martyrdom rather than meet violence with violence. His story shows that no past defines our future—and that Christ’s love can utterly remake a soul.
