And be my grace and strength, my God and my lord, because you are the Lord of light and the Savior of the world". And light surrounded the place and a group of prophets, apostles, saints, John the Baptist and the king Constantine were all standing around the saint until he delivered his pure spirit. Macarius cried and said, "Blessed are you Maximos" this was on the 14th of the month of Tobi. Dumadios cried bitterly, and asked St. Macarius to ask Christ to bring him to his brother. Three days later, he suffered from a severe fever, and Macarius was told about it and went to visit him. While he was on the way, he stood for a long time looking toward the cave, then turned to the east. Those people with him thought that he was praying but he was contemplating the Church of the Saints who were advancing the spirit of St. Domadius. Macarius looked up at the sky, crying and knocking his chest, saying, "Domadius has departed". This was on the 17th of the month of Tobi. Macarius built a church in their place of residence, the first church built in the wilderness. Maximos and Domadious were the first monks to die in Šihēt.
