This was part of a hidden video link in my Early Medieval Guilds video and about 1k of view found it. But now, since it's Christmas, I am making it public for all of you. Hope you enjoyed this very short video :)

Oh thank you

I love how hermits by modern standards are considered strange and smelly people, where as in medieval through to ancient times (considering the one Alexander met) they’re actually usually government employees, pretty wise, and considered like monks

It's beautiful to hear that the belief that one could obtain salvation by a life of frugality and solitude got corrupted into ripping people off for profit while believing that they were still on the path to salvation? Er... OK.

Understandable, have a great day

"Man was born for society. However little He may be attached to the World, He never can wholly forget it, or bear to be wholly forgotten by it. Disgusted at the guilt or absurdity of Mankind, the Misanthrope flies from it: He resolves to become an Hermit, and buries himself in the Cavern of some gloomy Rock. Ah! no, Rosario. No longer sustained by the violence of his passions, He feels all the monotony of his way of living, and his heart becomes the prey of Ennui and weariness” ― Matthew Gregory Lewis

working a full time job is also a monotonous way of living that makes one's heart become prey to ennui and weariness, but ok.

One size doesn’t fit all Why must it be a gloomy cave as opposed to a shining mountain

Many times I have considered being a hermit

I was bamboozled.

I was very happy to see St. Seraphim of Sarov featured in this video. He is one of Orthodox Christianity's most beloved and treasured saints!

Hey that's St. Seraphim! Fellow animal lover. Love him! Seraphim of Sarov, intercede for us sinners!

Tfw when seraphim might’ve historically meant winged fiery serpent 👀 Why god got dem around his throne

Great video! Just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas

Very well presented. Hermits in Spain where called Ermitaños, and were monks that decided to go on their own to live into the wilderness. They used to build small stone churches there, called Ermitas, where they lived, far from villages or towns. There are thousands of Ermitas in Spain, many well preserved and still in service. People used to do pilgrimage to this places as a promise to god after some fortunate thing happened in their lifes, or to be married in secret by the Hermit, for young couples that wanted to escape from arranged marriages. Today, there are couples that decide to get married in those Ermitas, and it is considered very romantic. A priest from a village near by the Ermita is usually the one that has the keys, and performs the weddings.

Merry christmas M Laser!

St Seraphim is my favorite thank you for the knowledge. I learned something new. Thnx

Some guy with a spoon gave you a shoutout because of your Aztec video, have a subscriber my dude.

He was a Russian 18th to 19th century saint, and hermit, called Seraphim of Sarov. So, you know, just doing the normal Russian thing and feedings some bears. I used the picture in the video because it's in the public domain and I needed some more pictures of hermits.

nice

why youtube does not promote educational channels like this?

@MLaserHistory

2 жыл бұрын

I don't know if its KZread or the general public's taste. Like KZread is definetly not helping but even the most popular history channels like Kings and Generals or Historia Civilis are much smaller than most science channels, not to mention vlogging, or tech, or make up, etc. In the modern day, with the promotion of STEM as the "useful" subjects to learn, combined with the emergence of short form content, like TikTok, there could be an argument made that educational historical content isn't very interesting to people.

Why so short...? Was this a TikTok?!!
