Life
As a hierarch he governed the flock of Christ for twenty-six years with great love and compassion. When he died and his body was laid in the church, some saw how he rose from the coffin and ascended into the air above the church, and from on high blessed the people and the city, then returned again to his coffin. And many other miracles occurred at his grave. He departed to the Lord on May 28, 1288.
