Life

Holy Hierarch Cerdo of Alexandria was the third bishop of Alexandria, in Egypt, and died around the year 106. He shepherded the Church after Saint Mark the Evangelist, founder of the Church of Alexandria, after Anianus and after Abilius, in the first decades following the apostolic age.

No details of his deeds have been preserved. His name remains in the ancient list of the bishops of Alexandria, of whom the Church remembers the earliest as saints of the undivided Church.
