Wikipedia Wiktionary dictionary logo

  • Anchorite, denotes someone who, for religious reasons, withdraws from secular society so as to be able to lead an intensely prayer-oriented, ascetic and, circumstances permitting, Eucharist-focused life. As a result, anchorites are usually considered to be a type of religious hermit, although there are distinctions in their historical development and theology. The anchoritic life is one of the earliest forms of Christian monastic living.
