Benedict -St. Benedict of Nursia (c. 480-547) was the father of western monasticism. An upper-class Roman, he retreated from the world and became a Christian hermit. Disciples joined him and he established a community of monks, or a monastery, at Monte Casino in Italy. To govern his monastery, he established a series of rules, known as the Benedictine Rule. Monks took oaths of poverty, chastity, and obedience, and their days were precisely regulated between prayer and labor. The Benedictine Rule governed most western monasteries for centuries.
