An Ascetic at The State Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg

myminifactory

Asceticism is a lifestyle defined by the rejection of worldly indulgences. This often occurs in pursuit of spiritual objectives, where individuals abstain from sensual pleasures to focus on their faith or inner reflection. Ascetics may opt for solitude to dedicate themselves to their practices or continue living within society while adhering to simple and modest habits. Their lifestyle is characterized by minimal attachment to material goods and physical gratifications, with time allocated towards fasting and contemplating spiritual matters.
