Description
St Parthenius was born in the late 3rd Century in a city of Asia Minor called Melitoupolis. He was born from pious parents; his father Christopher was a deacon. St Parthenius was deprived of a good education, yet, he learned about the Orthodox Faith by going to church services.
As a young man he worked as a fisherman and distributed his meager earnings to the poor. From the young age of eighteen, God gave the Saint may gifts (ฯฮฑฯฮฏฯฮผฮฑฯฮฑ): the ability to heal the sick, cast out demons and perform other miracles.
