Saint Silvester, of whom nothing authentic is known, is traditionally said to have been a monk of the order of St. Basil, in the convent of St. Michael, at Bari. Various miracles are attributed to him, as his having gone one winter day to Catania and back on foot. He is also said to have entered a baker's furnace to scrape the living embers together for him, when he had lost his shovel, and to have come forth unhurt.
