Life

Narcissus and Crescentian of Rome were martyrs of Rome, remembered together on 17 September.

The Roman Martyrology says only that at Rome there were the holy martyrs Narcissus and Crescentian (Crescentio). We have no data on the time or circumstances of their martyrdom.

They are saints of the undivided Church, named in the Roman Martyrology; no Orthodox synodal canonization is known. The information is very scant.

Commemorated the same day September 17
