Best Answer

Someone that lives an isolated life of worship is called a hermit. In Christianity, hermits were originally Coptics that lived alone in the desert. They were called eremites by the Greeks, and that is where we get the word hermit. Hermitage is not restricted to Christianity, it is common in Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism as well.
