He is recognized as a saint within the Catholic and Orthodox traditions. During a significant period of famine, he demonstrated great charity by selling his own belongings and various church items to provide food for the impoverished. He is particularly remembered for establishing a hospital dedicated to Saint Christopher, a site that eventually evolved into the Hôtel-Dieu de Paris.
