Karslidis' relics are kept in the Monastery of the Ascension of Christ, in Taxiarchis, Drama,[2] and he is one of the few saints known to bear an imprint of the sign of the cross on his skull.

[14] In 1929, Karslidis settled in the village of Taxiarches (Sipsa), in Drama, Northern Greece, where he lived the remaining thirty years of his life.

[15] In 1938, the Greek government made a permanent distribution of farmland and Karslidis was given an acre of land on which he managed to build the foundations of a monastery dedicated to the Ascension of Jesus.

[15] He was sentenced to death for the second time in his life in 1941 by Bulgarian forces, but after he prayed with calmness and asked them to proceed with their work, they abandoned him out of fear and ran away; thus once again he survived miraculously.

[1] After Karslidis' death, the monastery that he established fell into disrepair until Metropolitan Dionysios (Kyratsos) of Drama undertook its renovation in 1970.
