Venerable Cyril, Bishop of Catana in Sicily

Life

He was a native of Antioch and a disciple of the Apostle Peter. He governed the flock of Christ well. He also had the gift of wonderworking through prayer. Thus he once converted a certain bitter water — which could not be drunk, and in that place there was no other water in summer — into sweet, drinkable water by prayer. He reposed in peace.
