The holy, glorious, all-laudable Apostle Crispus is numbered among the Seventy Apostles , and was bishop of the Greek island of Aegina, near the Peloponnesus.
The Acts of the Apostles mentions that St. Crispus, as the chief ruler of the synagogue, "believed on the Lord with all his house" (Acts 18:8). Crispus is also referred to by St. Paul as someone he had baptized ( 1 Cor. 1:14).
The Apostles of the 70 were chosen and sent by the Lord Jesus Christ himself to preach. They were chosen some time after the selection of the Twelve Apostles ( Luke 10:1-24). Apostle Crispus is commemorated by the Church on January 4 with the Seventy, but does not appear to have a separate commemoration date.
St. Crispus appears on the list of 70 attributed to St. Dorotheus of Tyre as a bishop in Galatia, but there he is considered the same person as St. Crescens . St. Demetrius of Rostov lists St. Crispus being the person mentioned in Acts and I Corinthians above.

O holy apostle Crispus, entreat the Merciful God that He may grant the remission of sins to our souls.
Kondak
As a most bright star the church hath for ever acquired thee, O apostle Crispus, being enlightened with the grant of a multitude of thy miracles wherefore we call unto Christ: Save, O Greatly-merciful, those who in faith honour the memory of Thine apostle.
