However, his in the Franciscan Center. interest was in teaching and scholarship, so he returned to the University where he served as a professor of Sacred Scripture until his death in 1473. He was recognized for his outstanding scholarly work. He also must have been a very strong and fit man, as he made one pilgrimage to Jerusalem and four to Rome. Several miraculous cures were attributed to him during his lifetime and more after his death. Pope Clement XIII proclaimed him a saint in 1767.

The Miracle of the Jug The 13-by-7-foot window depicts the following story. One day a girl was fetching water. On her way back home she dropped her jug and it broke. St. John Cantius happened to be there and miraculously repaired the jug. When the girl arrived back home with her newly repaired jug, she noticed that the jug no longer held water. Instead it was filled with sweet fresh milk — which was rare at that time. The lesson revealed in this story, is that God will repair us — fill us up and give us more than we had hoped for — if not in this life, then in the next.
