One frigid winter, while serving as a monk, Ghelasie was tasked with carrying wood for the monastery. Overwhelmed by the heavy load and biting cold, he stumbled and fell, breaking his leg. Left alone in the deep snow, far from the monastery, his situation seemed dire. Yet, with unwavering faith, he prayed fervently. Miraculously, a local peasant, drawn by an unseen force, discovered him and aided him. Ghelasie credited his survival to God's divine intervention and continued his life of service, forever grateful for the answered prayer.

O Holy Archbishop Ghelasie, pray to God for us!
