Saint Memnon the Wonderworker was alive during the second century A.D.[1][2] He was a hegumen of an Egyptian monastery. His feast day is April 28 (Eastern Orthodox liturgics).
In the Egyptian desert he practised religious asceticism.[3]
He is said to have performed a number of miracles. Some of his miracles include causing a spring to gush forth, destroying a plague of locusts, curing illnesses and saving boats from destruction.[4][5]
