Biography
Saint Kragon, a highway crook in Egypt. Around the year 297, he and two individual criminals were brought to Christianity by a desert hermit, and Kragon turned into a priest. During the mistreatments of Diocletian, Kragon left his hermitage to venture to every part of the district and lecture Christianity. He was detained a few times and tormented, yet experienced no harm it, and preached constantly. In Samannüd he was hauled from the dungeon to show up before the vizier Justus; Kragon presented to Justus, his family and watchmen to Christianity. He was at long last detained and executed for his faith and work. A martyr.
