Born in Cappadocia, he entered the monastery at the age of eight, renouncing his parents' wealth. He founded the monastery known as the 'old lavra' in Palestine, where he gathered a community of monks. Saint Sava was known for his virtues and miraculous deeds, including saving a brother from a burning oven. He built several monasteries and was appreciated by the patriarchs of Jerusalem. He died at the age of 94, and his death was celebrated by a large crowd of monks. His body is buried in the Monastery of Saint Sava the Sanctified, an important pilgrimage site.
