The miracle of St. Denis is associated with his martyrdom by beheading. Legend has it that immediately after he was martyred, his decapitated body rose, picked up his severed head, and walked two miles (three km), preaching the Gospel along the way, until he reached his preferred burial site, where his body collapsed.
