Who they were
Commemoration of Saint Patapios, hermit, who, a native of the Thebaid, lived at Constantinople in the quarter of the Blachernae and was buried in the monastery of the Egyptians.
The miracles
There was never a formal cause: he has been honoured as a saint since before the Church's formal processes began.
Why that counted as sanctity
The Roman Martyrology remembers him on 8 December as a hermit from the Thebaid who lived at Constantinople in the quarter of the Blachernae.
