Not necessarily

They should just repeat it in this time of camera and easy verification

To me, any miracle that happened in the past or anywhere in the past but can't be repeated is a fraud

Red sea was divided but can't be re-redvided - fraud

Fish swallow someone but can't re-swallow in 2024 - pure fraud
No one can say it’s fraud or real since it’s in the past…

But with a TM… evidence go dey

You're referring to Saint Denis, a Christian martyr and bishop who lived in the 3rd century AD. Here's his legendary story:

*The Story of Saint Denis*

In approximately 250 AD, Denis was sent by Pope Clement I to evangelize Gaul (modern-day France). Denis became the first bishop of Paris and preached the Gospel with zeal.

*Martyrdom*

During the reign of Emperor Decius (249-251 AD), Denis was arrested, imprisoned, and tortured for his Christian faith. Refusing to renounce Christianity, he was beheaded on the highest hill in Paris, Montmartre (Martyr's Mountain).

*The Miraculous Event*

According to legend, after being beheaded:

1. Denis picked up his severed head.
2. Walked six miles while preaching the Gospel.
3. Converted many pagans to Christianity.

*Burial and Legacy*

Denis was buried in the cemetery of Catullius, which later became the Saint-Denis Basilica. His feast day is October 9th.

*Symbolism*

Saint Denis is often depicted carrying his head, symbolizing:

1. Courage in the face of persecution.
2. The power of faith to overcome death.
3. The spreading of Christianity despite adversity.

*Historical Significance*

Saint Denis's story has been passed down through centuries, inspiring countless artworks, literature, and devotion.

Would you like to know more about:

1. Saint Denis's historical context?
2. The significance of his martyrdom?
3. Artistic depictions of Saint Denis?
4. His legacy in modern Christianity?
5. Other early Christian martyrs?

The man whose head was cut off, he picked up his own head in his hands & continued...

Bishop Denis and his companions were so effective in converting people to Jesus that the pagan priests became alarmed over their loss of followers.

In his days (200 A.D.), the persecution against the church was so intense, but it never deterred him & his compatroits.
He would go into the streets openly to preach Jesus in the heat of the persecution.

The Roman governor arrested Denis and 2 others, & after a prolonged imprisonment, he beheaded them on the highest hill in Paris (now Montmartre).

However, in the most shocking of events, Denis picked stood up, picked up his head in his hands and began to preach the gospel of Jesus, walking for another 6 miles before he eventually fell & went to be with the Lord.

How far can you go for the gospel of Jesus?

1. If all these early Saints were matyred for their faith in Jesus Christ, and we're more zealous, and did not escape by Rapture, how do today Christians think they wont evangelise for Jesus in a more wicked world, and escape by Rapture?

2. How will someone cope when all these saints will be receiving their golden rewards on that day, and some people who haven't done anything but think they will receive the same reward?

3. How did Catholic Church fall off so badly? No more Bishop like this...
Catholic Church didn’t fall, instead fraudulent Pentecosters came to pollute Christianity

All these people here calling it fake news or fabricated story, it's because you guys have not really encountered Christ. I mean one on one. As in eh, when all hope is lost. Go no go, come no come,,, you look left and right, noway. You call even your closest pal for small help and he begin to give you story. And behold, when you thought everything is up for you, there comes a great relief. A relief that's one in a million. God does not do all these miracles because the person is the best or holiest in the world. He can use anyone he chooses to. He does all these signs for you and I to marvel at the hearing of his name. More miracles happen everyday, more will still come too. Miracle no dey tire Jesus. Even the powerful and rich people still praise God and thanking God daily, come be una wey still dey struggle with one square meal per day. You better join the moving train because he is the only one worthy to be praised and give thanks. Happy Sunday grin

Jesus came to be killed and die. And the reason you call Him mumu is because His grace still keep you alive to witness this day. If He had taken your breath last night, because He gave it to you and has the power to withdraw it during your sleep, you won't be saying this now. Think deeply about it bro. He's great. He's mighty. He's a great God. He can break protocol and render every initial human plans in your life useless and set you in a broad place. Victor Osimehn was my younger sister's classmate at oregun. Where is he now? That is grace. He does not take permission. Don't worry bro, just apologize wholeheartedly to him. He'll set you in a broad place.

Oga this is not true. Did you believe that the man was beheaded and he bent and picked up his head and walked some kilometres before he slumped??

How was he beheaded? Was he standing up unrestrained? Was he not bound? Was he just standing still and the executioner swung the sword or axe and his head fell off and dropped?

Let’s assume he was courageously standing still while this happened, his head fell off, either rolled to some distance or dropped beside him!! Wow..😮 he knew exactly where it fell, went there or bent down, picked it up, continued on his evangelical mission before he fell!

Chai.

He is fake, I can prove it. What if I told you, you worshipping the devil without knowing?
Back to the subject, you are missing my point. Peter was SUPPOSEDLY crucified upside down on an X-cross. Did peter come down from the cross to preach? Or did peter come to be killed and die? I learnt Paul was beheaded by Nero? Did Paul’s beheaded head preach too? Or Paul came to die? Learn to separate fact from fable, that just ma message.
