Saint Myron was born and raised in Aurakia, Crete. From a young age he had great love and faith in God and followed his Word faithfully. He followed the profession of a farmer and, with his harvest he always helped the poor. He was ordained a priest and, after the persecution of Christians ended, he became Bishop of Knossos. One story told about his generosity recounts that he surprised thieves who had broken in to his threshing floor, and then helped them lift a sack of grain on their shoulders, which shamed the thieves to the point that they began to lead honorable lives. His miracles were known and many sought his help. He died in 350 at the age of 100 years and his body smelled of myrrh. His feast day is on August 8.
