Venerable Memnon the Wonderworker

Life

From his youth Memnon gave himself over to fasting and prayer, and so greatly did he purify himself that he became a dwelling-place of the Holy Spirit. He healed the incurably sick and worked many other miracles. He appeared in storms at sea and saved ships from destruction. He reposed peacefully in the Lord in the second century and passed into the heavenly courts of the Lord.
