In order tell me what happened from when the king and queen's son got sick until the king was saved from the forest.
One day, the king’s son got very sick. All the doctors and magicians could not make him feel better. The queen asked Theognosta to pray for him because she saw her pray a lot to her God. Saint Theognosta prayed to our Lord to help and heal the boy. Our Lord heard her prayer and made him healthy again! The king thanked Theognosta and set her free, so she is not a slave anymore. He gave her a home by herself where she could pray. After a little while, the queen got sick. She asked Theognosta to pray for her. God answered her prayers, and the queen got better. The queen then told her husband they should trust and believe in the Lord Jesus that Theognosta worships. He was scared people might get angry. One day, the king went out hunting with his men in the woods. Suddenly, a dark cloud covered them, and a strong wind blew. The king then remembered St. Theognosta and how she always prayed to the Lord Jesus Christ and the Lord Jesus made her strong when she made the sign of the cross. The king cried out asking the Lord Jesus to save him, and immediately he saw the sign of the cross like a light in front of him. The sign of the cross guided them until they entered the city.

Joshua (Pantocrator):
-When the sun started to set, Joshua prayed to God and asked him to make the Sun stay up until the war was over. And by the power of God, he said, “Sun, stand still over Gibeon; And moon, in the Valley of Aijalon.” This meant that the sun would keep shining on the land of Gibeon all day and the moon would stay up in the Valley of Aijalon all day.
The man born blind (Creator):
-The Lord Jesus spat on the ground and made clay. He placed the clay where this man’s eyes should’ve been. Jesus told him to go wash his face in a nearby pool called Siloam. The Lord Jesus was the only One who could create eyes for the man who was born blind. He created the eyes from dust just as He created Adam from dust because He is God the Creator.
