At his death, those who had been faithful, dug into the rock his grave and gave rise to the cult that from the year 1000 is perpetuated still today.

The first chapel was built in the eleventh century and thanks to the faith of the humble three other small churches, two chapels and seven small chapels were erected over the centuries. Faith in the Holy Valley was really loud, so that, in the fifteenth century the walls along the staircase leading to the grave of the hermit were filled with votive objects, signs of the immense faith of the pilgrims in the power of the Holy .
