My favorite story about the desert Christians begins with a bunch of grapes. One of these monks, Macarius, was given grapes as a gift, but he immediately sent them to another monk. “Then the recipient gave thanks to God for his brother's gift,” the story says, “but he likewise did not think of himself but of others and sent them to someone else.”
