In Jordan there was a very simple priest who performed miracles. He’d read prayers over people and animals that were sick in some way and they’d recover. Muslims went to him as well, if they had a health problem, and he’d cure them. Before he served the Liturgy, he’d drink a herbal tea and nibble on a little toasted bread. Then he wouldn’t eat anything for the rest of the day. The Patriarch heard that he ate before the Divine Liturgy and called him in to the Patriarchate.
