Why did the Eucharist dissapear when St. Severus was at liturgy?
One day, he went to pray the Divine Liturgy in a monastery. When the serving priest began the Prayer of Reconciliation, the Holy Bread disappeared from the altar. The priest cried and thought this was because of his sins. An angel of the Lord appeared to him and told him that it is not proper for him to offer the sacrifice when a patriarch is present. The angel pointed to St. Severus. The priest asked St. Severus to pray the Liturgy. As soon as St. Severus entered the sanctuary, the Holy Bread reappeared, and they continued the prayers.
