Saint Tarasius spent all his money on God-pleasing ends, feeding and giving comfort to the aged, of the impoverished, to widows and orphans, and on Holy Pascha he set out a meal for them, and he served them himself 
St. Tarasius died in the year 806 A.D. Mourned by the Church, he was buried in a monastery he built on the Bosphorus. Many miracles took place at his tomb.
