St. Narcissus, Bishop of Jerusalem
St. Narcissus, Bishop of Jerusalem
October 29
When almost 80 years old, about 195, St. Narcissus was placed at the head of the church of Jerusalem. He presided over a council of the bishops of Palestine which decreed that Easter is to be kept always on a Sunday, and not with the Jewish Passover. One famous miracle of this holy bishop was on a Holy Saturday, when the deacons, needing oil for their lamps for the divine office, he changed water into oil with a devote prayer.
