                    In hagiography:
                            John of Edessa was a priest from Edessa who nourished 12 holy men in a cave. He became
                        friends with Paul of
                            Edessa, his workman, who was actually a Latin bishop in
                        disguise. The two lived a life of prayer and spiritual companionship. They
                        travelled to Sinai. Back in Edessa, they interacted with Matthew the
                            eunuch, a woman hiding in a monastery. They travelled to
                            Jerusalem.
                        Paul performed miracles and fled to Nisibis. John found him
                        there, and Paul told him to return to Edessa. Paul died, and
                        John died 8 months later. The story was set in the time of the Bishop Rabbula of
                        Edessa.
