Gregory the Wonderworker

Gregory served as bishop of Neocaesarea in Asia Minor during the third century. He studied with Origen and helped a small Christian community grow in faith. The Church remembers him as the Wonderworker because of the many miracles associated with his ministry. His surviving letter also shows a bishop concerned with how Christians treated neighbors during a time of invasion and hardship. His life joins prayer and teaching with the everyday work of caring for people.
