St. PAMBO
Christian Saint
Also known as Pemwah
Egyptian Hermit
The follower of St. Anthony the Abbot, he became an Abbot in Nitria where he’d found a suitably mountainous patch of desert in which he could sit weaving baskets. Wherever did he find customers you may ask.
But Melania the Elder, mother of St. Melania the Younger, made a point of doing the rounds of ‘way out’ hermits. She came visiting in style — with a donation of silver weighing three hundred pounds.
However, she was a bit miffed when he scarcely bothered to acknowledge her: “I’m busy, just leave it over there. I believe you — I don’t have time to count it or weigh it.”
“Look,” she protested, “it’s a gift. I don’t even want one of your lousy baskets.”
“So it’s a gift. Just leave it and buzz off. I’m a hermit — I need peace and quiet. Hang on, there is one thing — do you happen to have any stale rye bread?”
