Miracle 11. The donor of timber (BHG 1267)
Summary:
A certain Theophilos offers a quantity of timber to the shrine, but, while it is delivered and transferred, it is requisitioned by a passing soldier who ignores the pleas of the servants of the shrine and even beats them up. Suddenly, the soldier is lifted up in the air by an invisible force which holds him by his hair and transfers him to the shrine. In front of an astonished crowd, the soldier confesses his sin and is safely brought down to the ground. He offers twelve pieces of gold and leaves happily.
