Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
There's a little debate on the year!. It's either September 26, 1181 or 1182!.

I found the actual decree of canonization by Pope Gregory IX!. Strangely, he declared the veneration of Francis' birth to be on the day of his death, October 4th!. There's no mention of a specific miracle, just of numerous unnamed miracles!.
