The man heeded this advice and hit the road. The road was difficult and the search for the right icon, because by that name the nuns did not know it. Presenting himself in front of the icon, he read a prayer for alcoholism, and a miracle happened - the soldier was completely cured of the vice and recovered physically.

During the public execution, Bonifantius saw with his own eyes how the Orthodox martyrs suffer and suffer.
He was so imbued with sympathy and took their pain upon himself that he rushed directly to them and was immediately captured by the executioner.
