Commemorated on October 7
These 99 martyrs were from Crete. The most prominent among them was
called John, and he was known as a wonderworker. He knelt so much in
prayer that he was not able to walk, and had to move about on his knees.
One day a woodsman saw him going about in this way. Thinking
that it was some wild animal, he shot the saint with an arrow. It is
said that the other ninety-eight Fathers also died on that same day.
It is not known when these holy ascetics lived.
