In a dream, the man saw the saints who told him to travel to their tomb in Rome and there he would find his new leg. When the man arrived at the tomb, he found a fresco of the saints with one leg extended. He removed the leg from the fresco and placed it where his own leg had been amputated, and miraculously, the new leg healed and began to function again.
