Jacob the Monk (Greek Ἰάκωβος μονάχος, Latin Jacobus monachus), known in Syriac as Jacob the Wanderer (ܡܫܢܝܢܐܝܥܩܘܒ) and in Russian as Jacob the Palestinian (Иаков Палестинский), Jacob the Fasting (Иаков Постник), and Jacob of Carmel (Иаков Кармильский) was a hermit who lived in sixth-century Palestine. Whether or not he existed, he became a prominent saint in Greek, Russian, and Syrian Orthodox Christianity. The most famous story about Jacob is that, after living for many years as a hermit, he succumbs to temptation and has sex with a girl, whom he then murders. The depth of his repentance thereafter is the key source of his fame for holiness.
