St. Narcissus



1. I just have to say I love the wording of the saint bio on Catholic.org: "...was almost fourscore years old when he was placed at the head of the church of Jerusalem, being the thirtieth bishop of that see [Jerusalem]."

2. He helped preside over a council which decided to keep the celebration of Easter on Sunday and not with Jewish Passover (This is is 195, mind you.  Talk about some Apostolic Tradition going on there.)

3. St. Narcissus served the Church till he was well over 100.
