Life
Because of the great purity of his soul, God gave him the gift of wonderworking, so that he healed all diseases and afflictions in men. In the time of the wicked Emperor Julian, who renounced Christ, holy Timothy was cast into prison. The faithful visited him even in prison, in order to hear wise instruction from their archpastor. Learning of this, Julian ordered the executioner to cut off his head in the prison in the year 362. His soul went to Paradise, and his relics remained wonderworking, to help men and to manifest the power of God.
From the Hymn of Praise
Holy Bassian loved the Lord,Holy Bassian prayed to the Lord,The merciful Lord gave him grace,And Bassian saw through what all men do,
