Saint Myron the Wonderworker, Bishop of Crete

Life

He was at first married and occupied himself with agriculture. From the fruits of the earth on his own estate, Myron gladly and generously distributed to the poor. Once he found unknown thieves on his threshing floor stealing wheat. Without revealing who he was, Saint Myron helped the thieves fill their sacks, helped them also to lift them onto their backs, and to escape. Because of his exceedingly great virtues, he was ordained first a presbyter and then a bishop. He was a great wonderworker and performed many good and mighty works in the name of the Lord Jesus. He reposed around 350 in his old age of one hundred years.
