St. Narcissus of Jerusalem
Oct 29
Bishop of Jerusalem
Born toward the end of the first century, Narcissus was advanced in age when he was elected bishop of Jerusalem.
Many miracles were attributed to the saintly prelate, one of which the historian Eusebius relates: the deacons being out of oil for the lamps to be used in the Easter Vigil liturgical solemnities, the bishop bade them draw water from a well.
