In his lifetime St. Paul of the Cross is said to have performed healing miracles and exhibited powers over nature. For example, while visiting the village of Canepina (Italy) in 1750 during a famine, he prayed for rain, which made the withering chestnut trees flourish and yielded an abundance of chestnuts for the hungry townspeople. After he died, many people reported miracles after praying to him or coming into contact with one of his relics, as in the case of a woman who was cured of breast cancer in 1844 because of St. Paul’s intercession.
