Sowha are Coptic Christian monks who dwell in the desert living off the land with aid from no man. They live neither in monasteries nor even caves, a favorite residence of desert hermits such as Anthony of the Desert. Sometimes at night, the singing of psalms by sowha can be heard in the mountain canyons around monasteries.
