Caprasius of Lérins was a fifth-century hermit and monk from Provence who lived in the Îles de Lérins. Born into a wealthy and prominent family in Gaul, he abandoned his worldly status to pursue an ascetic life. Along with Honoratus and Venantius, he attempted a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, though the death of Venantius caused the group to return to Gaul. He eventually settled back on the islands to live as a hermit, following the monastic traditions of the Desert Fathers.
