    On Memorial Day 2023, I was healed of a chronic brain disease through this icon. I was in terrible condition, to the point that I was unable to care for my children and my wife and I were planning for my death. Today I am healthy, working full-time and attending college, and my wife and I are planning for the arrival of our fourth child and second son.
    Most holy Theotokos, save us!
    Glory to Jesus Christ!

    Amen. Many non-Orthodox people have a hard time believing these miracles because they can't imagine that God's miracles can be so visible and accessible to ordinary people, they are just not used to that. Here in my country Georgia we have numerous instances of icons streaming myrrh! ☦

    There is another icon of the mother of God in Greece that streams myrrh in August every year. The name of the icon is “Panagia Malevi”. Through the grace of God i was saved from leukemia twice. My mother would apply myrrh after chemotherapies and out of a sudden everything disappeared. The doctors could not believe what happened because everything vanished overnight. I remember the doctor said “we dont know what God you believe in, but this is something we cannot explain”. This is Orthodoxy the one and true church that God established. Glory to God❤

    On the back of my iPhone that I’m using to type this I have a paper version of this icon that touched some of the myrrh of this icon that a father gave me when I saw this icon during its tour at a parish near Bristol,Tennessee. I swear I kept smelling that sent of roses (myrrh) at different areas of the church not just near the icon. It was mysteriously compelling.And a fellow brother said he experienced the same thing before I told him on the drive home. Highly recommend taking a pilgrimage to this mysterious wonderful icon. Also, please pray for me as I am currently separated from the mystery’s working on a farm in deep Appalachia ( a Protestant stronghold). ☦️

    My mother smelled myrrh after her mother died. She told me, that at the dying bed of my grandma, said the name of her sister quietly and pointed across the room. Her sister already died long before her. One time, I too smelled myrrh out of nowhere in my flat, no reason at all that I know of. It just filled the entire room, It smelled like it came from the window, but I have no church near me that uses it and no one in my street uses it. So I just sat next to the window in silence.

    I have bad contact dermatitis on my hands mostly on my fingers that flares up from time to time and the skin cracks and becomes slipt and it hurts. It started on one finger in my late teens and slowly spread to the others.
    A few years back I went to St. Tikhons Monastery for their Memorial Day pilgrimage. I was having a particularly bad flare up this weekend and really didnt want to be sweating outside in the heat as this makes the flare ups worse and more painful. It was my second encounter with the miraculous Iveron icon of the Theotokos. After being annointed with the myrrh from the icon by the priest and rubbing it into my hands i noticed the pain was completley gone and it was the most soothing thing that I'd ever felt compared to all the medicated creams and lotions I've tried over the years.
    This was several years ago but ever since then when I do get a flare up they are incredibly limited and nothing like they used to be.

      Those who gave you likes didn't bother to tell you that Krishna will not give you access to Father God. Yahusha said, only through Him can we come to Father God. Loving a miracle that comes from an icon isn't going to do anything for your soul or to clean it from sin. The 2nd commandment from God which he gave to Moses (Moses being looong before Yahusha walked the earth) forbade us to make images of ANYTHING to bow down to. It specifically says that.

Once, as a beautiful Flute-playing Cow-herding Dark skinned Boy who grows up and declares the glories of Himself - God which are nothing but true! Once at another time, He comes as the son of a Pure Virgin and teaches perfectly by word of mouth how to Love our Lord who is above all our knowledge, but just for us humans, He comes in ways where our knowledge can easily grasp His absolute, infinite, and unending Glory and Majesty.

      Saying Hare Krishna and Praise God are absolutely non-different statements. Just as the rays of sunshine belong to the Sun orb/Star, so too is Lord Jesus Christ belonging to that same understanding and lineage of knowledge of God also called Krishna.
      Krishna also has more proof then Christ historically despite both being 100% real historic, existing, living breathing expansions of God. Our Lord 2,500 years before His Form of Lord Christ, Sri Krishna declared "I am God, there is nothing I cannot do" and this is true! There is NOTHING that God cannot do. If we say "God cannot-" we have already failed to grasp the immenseity of God being the absolute Truth and Power.
      If God wants to come as the Son of a pure Virgin and have to suffer for us useless begging sinners all over this Planet He can. If God wants to come as a Black farmboy who plays the flute and becomes a King and participates in War, He can. If God wanted to appear on Earth as an ant and not want His divinity seen it WILL be so because nothing is outside of Krishnas or Gods purview or juristiction. Praise the names of God!
      Do you not know that Christ, whos Father arks in Heaven is Krishna? Dont say what Krishna or God can do, because He is beyond all our understanding. Don't you know btw that Indian literature, art, music, knowledge, systems, stories, architecture can alllllll be historically, linguisitcally, philosophically, archeologically, astro-archeologically proven to be thousands of years older than Abrahamic religions and peoples. Both irl evidence dug up all over India and computer calculations showing the positions of Stars and constalations which are stated in indian scriptures like Ramayana and Mahabharata to date back even further back to times like 13,000BCE which outdates Bible, Torah, and all other world texts or scriptures ESPECIALLY Abrahamic faiths and systems, this is a proven fact. Also Christ says to love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your body, and all your mind. If you come from Christian background chant and sing those beautiful names of the Lord in His Form as the Perfect Representitive of God, Jesus Christ call and use His names! Yeshua! Son of Blessed Mary! Son of God! King of Kings!
      If you come from the Muslim Background you love God in his Impersonal Form of Allah and the Sufis whirl and dance praising Him by His many names! Most Merciful! Ruler of Existence!
      For those of us who are labelled Hare Krishnas, Hindus moreso, we say Jai Sri Krishna! Hare Krishna! Hare Rama! The Source of all Sources! The Original and Supreme Personality of Godhead!! Praise Krishna - God who is above us in every and all ways.
      He has infinite Power, Knowledge, Forms/Incarnations, Fames, Names, Pastimes and highest of all His Love far surpassing our mortal understanding, only unless Lord Krishna wishes us to know, then we CANNOT know. Haribol! Hare Krishna!

    3:00 correction: "kum" means godfather
    But in our culture godfathers and their whole families are held in high respect "what god is in heaven on earth is your kum" is a saying we have and it also gets passed down from generation to generation
    If you are the godfather of someone their family become your families "kumašini"

      GK Chesterton:
      No religion that thinks itself true bothers about the miracles of another religion. It denies the doctrines of the religion; it denies its morals; but it never thinks it worth while to deny its signs and wonders.
      And why not? Because these things some men have always thought possible. Because any wandering gipsy may have psychical powers. Because the general existence of a world of spirits and of strange mental powers is a part of the common sense of all mankind. The Pharisees did not dispute the miracles of Christ; they said they were worked by devilry. The Christians did not dispute the miracles of Mahomed. They said they were worked by devilry. The Roman world did not deny the possibility that Christ was a God. It was far too enlightened for that.
      In so far as the Church did (chiefly during the corrupt and sceptical eighteenth century) urge miracles as a reason for belief, her fault is evident…. It is not that she asked men to believe anything so incredible; it is that she asked men to be converted by anything so commonplace. What matters about a religion is not whether it can work marvels like any ragged Indian conjurer, but whether it has a true philosophy of the Universe. The Romans were quite willing to admit that Christ was a God. What they denied was that He was the God - the highest truth of the cosmos. And this is the only point worth discussing about Christianity.
      And I thank God nothing more or less than this is required of me to be truly Orthodox.”
      Take heart :)

    There has been some scientific research conducted on myrrh-streaming icons. However, it's important to note that the focus of most studies has been on the chemical composition of the myrrh itself, rather than the phenomenon of the icon producing it.
    Here are some key findings from these studies:
    * Chemical Composition: The myrrh exuded by these icons has been found to contain a variety of organic compounds, including hydrocarbons, alcohols, and esters. These compounds are similar to those found in natural myrrh resin, which is derived from plants.
    * Natural Sources: Some researchers have suggested that the myrrh might be introduced to the icons through natural means, such as insects or humidity. However, this explanation doesn't account for the consistent and often spontaneous nature of the myrrh-streaming.
    * Lack of Scientific Consensus: There is no definitive scientific explanation for myrrh-streaming icons. Many believers attribute it to a supernatural or miraculous cause, while others remain skeptical and seek natural explanations.
    It's worth noting that the Orthodox Church, which often celebrates myrrh-streaming icons, generally does not encourage scientific investigations into these phenomena. They believe that the spiritual significance of these icons should be the primary focus.

    I think here will be Protestants so p l e a s e read this:
    DO THE ORTHODOX VIOLATE THE SECOND COMMANDMENT?
    Here is the 2nd commandment:
    "4 You shall not make for yourself a carved image - any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth;
    5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them" (Ex 20:4-5 NKJV).
    Also in the context (it will be necessary next):
    "3 You shall have no other gods before Me.
    4 You shall not make for yourself a carved image - any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth;
    5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them" (Ex 20:3-5 NKJV).
    Traditionally, there are 3 interpretations of what the prohibition may be about:
    1. Creating any images and worshiping them.
    2. Creating images of any gods (including the true One) and worshipping them.
    3. Creating images of false (in particular, pagan) gods and worshipping them.
    The 1st variant is obviously not Christian. It used to be understood this way only during the fall of Old Testament judaism. The fact that such literalism has nothing to do with the command of God is evidenced by the fact that He Himself ordered images of cherubim to be made all over the Old Testament Temple, including in the Holy of Holies. As well as images of a bronze serpent and so on.
    Variant 2 provides for a prohibition on the depiction of any gods, including the true One. But if antiTrinitarians can still be understood, then almost all Protestants are Trinitarians and believe that Christ is the true God (and I completely agree with them). According to this logic, all Protestant depictions of Christ are nothing more than a violation of the second commandment. As for the second part of this prohibition - worshiping them, no Christian denomination violates this injunction.
    And here remains the 3rd variant - a prohibition on the depiction of pagan gods and the worshipping these images. And this variant appears to us the most logical. If look at the second commandment in the context of the first, as many biblical scholars advise, it turns out that the second verse is simply a continuation of the first one - "You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make for yourself a carved image - any likeness of anything that is in heaven above..." or (forgive me in advance for this interpolation, and a clumsy one by the way) "You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make for yourself THEIR carved image - any THEIR likeness of anything that is in heaven above..."
    So, the Orthodox cannot violate this commandment TWICE. First, we do not make idols of false gods. Secondly, we do not worship or serve any material objects or anyone or anything at all except God.
    For us icons are an not obligatory condition either for becoming righteous or becoming saved. We use them just because we can. If someone doesn’t consider them helpful for praying, it is up to him not to use them. But not to reject them.

      According to the main calendar used in Eastern Rome (because there were other calendars as well) God created the world in 5508 BC. So, 5508 + 2024 = 7532.
      There existed other calendars that said the world was created in 5199 BC, 5500 BC, 5529 BC, 5604 BC (according to the Georgian calendar) and so many other. These calendars are generally called "Anno Mundi" (from Latin "in the year of the world").

How then will his kingdom stand? 27 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out?
