He was taken to heaven during his lifetime and received two wishes from God.
He wished to die during the Divine Liturgy.
Also, he wished a couple other things and received them as wishes.
He was seen in many people's dreams praying on what was a hill in Paradise.
Sorry but that was all I remember from the article that I read about him in a Coptic Magazine (St. John's or St. Anthony's)

First, thank you Mina for reminding me of his name. Also, thank you Gregory for reminding me about that. I think that he told God the date he wished to die on as well as the want for him to die in the liturgy.

Actually, coming to think of it, I think your right, God told him when he was going to die, but I am absolutely sure that he told God that he wanted to die in the Liturgy (the underlined is what I am sure about) (that was one of his 3 wishes).

ya habibi anba Makarios is witnessed for as being a very holy and blessed man. why would he play games with and and His will. u don't get "3 wishes" ....so let's not get into that since it's for him only to know....
Anba Makarios always asked God not to deprive him of the holy altar and the liturgy, and God litteraly fulfilled his wish by letting him die during the liturgy!
that's better.... ;D

(I am just commenting on the replies of the youtube video at the site, and all youtube videos)
I believe that he wrote what he saw in a book but I'm not sure.
I also heard that he wished for that church that he prayed in to be built. He prayed that he would die during a liturgy. And actually i heard that he died normally and while going to heaven St.Mary stopped the angels taking him up to heaven and told them to return him back to his bed so that his prayer may be accepted.

Yeah, he wished that the church would be finished up (I am not sure if he wanted it to be done within his lifetime or not).
I saw a clip where it is clear that the Body was falling with HG, it disappeared for a fraction of sec behind the rim then was carried up and put back in the plate. It is understood that it was the Angel of the Eucharist who carried the Body up.
minagir,

Dear John, do you have a link to that clip you saw.
