Saint Heron And Other Black Saints You Probably Never Heard Of
St. Bessarion the Great
St. Bessarion was born in Egypt but as he got older, he set out to lead the life of a wanderer and decided to live in the desert as a hermit. Credited for performing many miracles, Bessarion once converted salt water into sweet water simply by making the sign of the cross so he and his disciples could quench their thirst. He infamously brought rain during a particularly long drought and even reportedly walked across the Nile River.
