Cres´cens, an assistant of St. Paul, and generally supposed to have been one of the seventy disciples of Christ. It is alleged in the Apostolical Constitutions (vii. 46), and by the fathers of the church, that he preached the Gospel in Galatia, a fact probably deduced conjecturally from the only text () in which his name occurs.
