<p> <strong> | <p> <strong> [[Crescens]] </strong> . [[A]] companion of St. Paul in his final imprisonment, sent by him to [[Galatia]] ( 2 Timothy 4:10 ), <em> i.e. </em> either to Asiatic Galatia, or possibly to Gaul. [[A]] late Western tradition treats him as the founder of the Churches of [[Vienne]] and of Mayence. His memory is honoured in the Roman [[Martyrology]] on June 27, in the Greek Menologion on May 30, and there he is treated as one of the seventy disciples, and a bishop of Chalcedon. </p> | ||

He is generally supposed to have been one of the seventy disciples of Christ. It is alleged in the ''Apostolical Constitutions'' (7, 46), and by the fathers of the Church, that he preached the [[Gospel]] in Galatia, a fact probably deduced conjecturally from the only text ( 2 Timothy 4:10) in which his name occurs. There is a less ancient tradition (in Sophronius), according to which Crescens preached, went into [[Gaul]] (Galatia; see [[Theodoret]] on 2 Timothy 1, c.), and became the founder of the Church in Vienne; but it deserves no notice, having probably no other foundation than the resemblance of the names Galatia and Gallia. From the fact of his having a Latin name, many have inferred that he was a [[Christian]] of Rome. (See Bechler, De Crescente, Viteb. 1689.) </p> | ||
