→Miracles: - departure A.D./A.M. (diff.=284)
He requested that the monk bring him a little of the soup they were cooking. Abba Barsoum prayed over the soup and made the sign of the cross, then asked the monk to take it back to the kitchen and mix it with the rest of the soup being prepared. St. Barsoum then instructed the monk to serve the soup to everyone in attendance. That day the Lord who blessed the five loaves and two fishes also blessed the food of the monastery and everyone ate until satisfied. When the abbot realized how his lack faith had made him weak he confessed his shortcomings to Abba Barsoum.
Abba Barsoum El Erian departed in the Lord on September 10, 1317 A.D. (Nasie 5, 1033 A.M., according to Coptic calendar) and was buried in the Shahran Monastery. Miracles continue to occur to this day through the powerful intercession of St. Abba Barsoum the Naked.
