Memorial day on October the 16th

This Holy Father is briefly mentioned in the early Paterikon in connection with the miracle, which occurred in the cave on Easter in 1453.

On the day of the Holy Pascha he went into the cave of St. Anthony in order to incense the relics of the saints. When he came to a small hall of the cave, he pronounced loudly, ‘Holy Fathers and brothers! It is a great day today! Christ Resurrected!’ Immediately a thunderous voice, as if a unified voice from the sacred relics, responded, ‘Truly He Resurrected!’

After the miracle, St. Dionysius spent the rest of his life in reclusion.
