Grazers (Christianity)
The grazers or boskoi (in Ancient Greek: βοσκοί, romanized: boskoí) were male and female Christian hermits and anchorites who lived in the first millennium of the Christian era, mainly in the Christian East, in Syria, Palestine, Pontus, Mesopotamia, and Egypt. They derived their name from their practices, which consisted of nourishing themselves only with raw plants, often on all fours, and living in a wild manner, "among the beasts." They were dressed in clothes made exclusively from leaves and vegetation, or simply completely naked.
