Changes

When he was at a very old age and ill, the saint was told by the Lord that his life would soon be coming to an end. In response, Saint Joseph prayed intensively until his death, praying for peace for the Church and for mercy on his soul. He fell asleep in the Lord around 883. His legacy carries on as many canons in the [[Menaion]] and hymns in the Parakletike were composed by Saint Joseph the Hymnographer.
