Aulogius met St. Daniel the
Hegumen
Aulogius hosted him, washed his
feet and fed him.
The saint was pleased with
Aulogius and prayed for three
weeks so that the Lord might
give Aulogius a lot of money.
The Lord answered the saint’s
prayer and Aulogius became rich
as he found a treasure while
cutting the stones.

man once more and returned
to his country.
