Biography

Saint Apollinaris Syncletica, also known as Apollinaria or Dorotheus, was the daughter of a Byzantine pro-consul. Born in the 4th century, she felt a strong calling to embrace the religious life and dedicate herself fully to God. In order to pursue this path, Apollinaris dressed as a man and moved to the desert, where she adopted the name Dorotheus and lived as a hermit.
