In front of an astonished crowd, St Zenobius raises a young man already lying on his bier from the dead. He also saves a man who fell from his horse while transporting the relics of saints. The scene in the interior shows St Zenobius healing his sick deacon. The latter gets up immediately in order to use the water St Zenobius has blessed to bring a dead relative back to life.
