Honours
Onuphrius's greatest accolade is his veneration as a saint across Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Oriental Orthodox churches. His feast day is celebrated annually, and his life has inspired countless works of art, including Jusepe de Ribera's painting. The Monastery of St Onuphrius the Great in Jerusalem stands as a lasting tribute, and his example of radical asceticism continues to resonate with believers today.
