Narcissus of Jerusalem

No writings survive, but he is memorialized through hymns, and yearly vitae. According to the Eastern Orthodox Church, Saint Narcissus of Jerusalem was an early bishop known for his holiness, miracles, and longevity, who served as the 30th bishop of Jerusalem. He is celebrated for turning water into oil to light the church lamps on Holy Saturday, enduring false accusations by living in solitude, and contributing to the Council of Caesarea that set Easter on a Sunday rather than on the Jewish Passover. His feast day is August 7. https://orthodoxwiki.org/Narcissus_of_Jerusalem
