Saint Crissus the witness
Saint Crissus came from the Myra of Lycia and lived at the time of pagan omnipotence. A disciple of the Apostle Paul, the Saint has shown throughout his life admirable piety. Even at an advanced age, he did not stop struggling for the return of pagans to Christian faith. When the governor of the city was informed of his Christian action, he called on the Saint and recommended that he stop preaching because he endangered his life and would be unfair to suffer death in his old age. But Cripke, with modesty and unusual bravery for his age, replied that torture would be for him and the threatened death of profit.
*There are other dates that celebrate this name.
