Dorotheus of Gaza (505-565 or 620, alternative spelling Dorotheos) or Abba Dorotheus was a Christian monk and abbot. He joined the monastery Abba Serid (or Abba Sveridus) near Gaza through the influence of elders Barsanuphius and John. Around 540 he founded his own monastery nearby and became abbot there. He wrote instructions for monks of which a considerable number have survived and have been compiled into Directions on Spiritual Training. Abba Dorotheus (St. Dorotheus the Hermit of Kemet) is recognized as a saint by Eastern Orthodox Church and Roman Catholic Church with the Feast Day on June 5 in Roman Catholic Church and June 18 (June 5 old style) in Churches of Eastern Orthodox tradition.
