埃拉斯默是基辅洞窟修道院的一名修士。他从父母那里继承了一大笔财产，但是他却将全部财产都用在了教堂上，尤其是用在圣像镀制金银方面。当他一无所有的时候他遭到了别人的轻蔑。魔鬼曾偷偷地对他说，他这样挥霍他的财产是徒然的；他没有将财产分给穷人，而是将其用在了教堂上。埃拉斯默屈服于这个诱惑了，他开始自暴自弃，陷入了绝望之中，并开始混日子、无法无天。当他临终前的时刻，兄弟们聚集到他的周围，开始数算起他的罪，而他本人并没有察觉到这些罪过。这时候，埃拉斯默突然从床上坐了起来，说：“神父们、兄弟们，正如你们所说的，我的确满身罪孽，不知悔改，但是圣安托尼和圣德奥多西刚才向我显现，之后，圣母告诉我说，上帝给了我更多的时间进行忏悔。”圣母还对他说了这些鼓舞性的话语：“穷人到处都有，但是我的教堂却不然。”埃拉斯默又活了三天的时间，期间进行了忏悔，而后将灵魂交在了上帝之手。这个故事告诉我们，热衷于教堂、装饰教堂是上帝所喜悦的。圣埃拉斯默于公元1160年荣耀归主。
