Bishop
Saint Myron was born and raised on the island of Crete. He got married at a young age and worked as a farmer, generously giving his harvest to the poor.
Because of his God-pleasing life, he was ordained a presbyter and later became a bishop.
During the persecutions against Christians under the Emperor Decius, he encouraged his flock to endure sufferings with steadfast faith. By the end of this era, he honored the memory of the holy martyrs and performed many miracles. Among them was the stopping of the River Triton, which had overflowed its banks and caused flooding.
Saint Myron departed to the heavenly Kingdom at about one hundred years of age, having devoted his entire life to fulfilling the commandments of the Lord.
The Church celebrates his memory on August 8.
