Saint Spyridon the Miracle Worker

Saint Spyridon was born at the end of the third century A.D. in Cyprus.He was a poor shepherd, uneducated.
Despite this,he always tried to do the will of God.He became the Bishop of Trymithous in Cyprus, and today he is the Patron Saint of Corfu in Greece. His relics are preserved in Corfu Town.
Because of his love for God he was given the power to perform miracles. These he did both during and after his life on earth.

His greatest miracle was to prove the existence of the Holy Trinity and thus the Godliness of the Lord Jesus.This he did at the First Synod in 325 AD in front of many heretics.He took a ceramic tile in his hand,and,after invoking the name of the Holy Trinity, the fire with which the tile had been baked rose up to the sky. The water which had been used in its creation fell to earth, and the earth used in making it remained in the Saints hand.

We celebrate his name day every year on 12th December.
