29 de octubre: San Narciso de Jerusalén, el obispo que convirtió agua en aceite

The Church celebrates St. Narcissus of Jerusalem on October 29. Born in Jerusalem in the late 1st century, he was educated by disciples of Christ or those who heard the Apostles directly.

Narcissus became the 30th bishop of Jerusalem around the year 180. He was known for his energy and his efforts to defend Church discipline and the purity of the faith.

Tradition attributes a miracle to Narcissus involving the transformation of water into oil. According to accounts from Christians in Jerusalem, deacons found themselves without oil for the temple lamps on the eve of Easter. Narcissus reportedly prayed over water and ordered it to be placed in the lamps, where it turned into oil and burned throughout the Easter night.
