There he told them to dig a grave in the form of a cross. Then he climbed into the grave and told his disciples to cover him with earth. Later, the grave was opened and the saint’s body was not there.Each year on May 8 a red dust would arise from the grave which the faithful collected in order to be healed of their illnesses.Saint John’s main Feast is on September 26.
