Because of Timothy's great spiritual
purity, God granted him the gift of working miracles and he cured all
diseases and afflictions of the people. During the reign of the
wicked Emperor Julian, who denied Christ, Saint Timothy was cast into
prison. Even in prison the faithful visited him in order to listen to
the wise instruction of their arch-shepherd. Learning of this, Julian
ordered and the executioner beheaded Timothy in prison in the year
362 A.D. His soul departed into Paradise and his relics remained
miracle-working to help the people and to manifest the power of God.
