Marcus Eremita, Mark the Ascetic or Marcus the Ascetic was a Christian theologian, saint, and ascetic writer of the fifth century AD. Mark is rather an ascetic than a dogmatic writer. He is content to accept dogmas from the Church; his interest is in the spiritual life as it should be led by monks. He is practical rather than mystic, belongs to the Antiochene School and shows himself to be a disciple of John Chrysostom. ==Identification== Various theories about his period and works have been advanced. According to Johannes Kunze, Mark the Hermit was superior of a ''laura'' at Ancyra; he then as an old man left his monastery and became a hermit, probably in the desert east of Palestine, near St. Sabas. He was a contemporary of Nestorius and died probably before the Council of Chalcedon (451). Nicephorus Callistus (fourteenth century) says he was a disciple of John Chrysostom.〔"Hist. Eccl." in ''Patrologia Graeca'', CXLVI, XlV, 30.〕 Cardinal Bellarmine〔De Script. eccl. (1631), p. 273.〕 thought that this Mark was the monk who prophesied ten more years of life to the Emperor Leo VI in 900. He is refuted by Tillemont.〔Memoires (1705), X, 456 sq.〕 Another view supported by the Byzantine ''Menaia''〔Acta Sanct. March 1.〕 identifies him with the Egyptian monk mentioned in Palladius,〔''Historia Lausiaca'', XX (P.G., XXXII.〕 who lived in the fourth century. The discovery and identification of a work by him against Nestorius by P. Kerameus〔In his Analekta ierosol. stachyologias (St. Petersburg, 1891), I, pp. 89-113〕 makes his period certain, as defended by Kunze. According to a brief entry in the ''"Great Synaxaristes"'' of the Orthodox Church, his feast day is observed on May 20.〔 ''(Ὁ Ὅσιος Μάρκος ὁ Ἐρημίτης ).'' 20 Μαΐου.
