    Hello, I would like to add a correction **spoiler below**
    A viewer pointed this out -
    In the part where Saint Evmenios saw Saint Nikephoros floating in prayer - the Saint was completely healthy, no sign of leprosy was on his body.
    Please forgive me for not properly depicting this in the creation of this story.
    God bless!

More precise, one summer, the heat was terrible here in Greece, and he said: thank God it is so hot. I am sure there are more stories... Thank you for the video!!

    I had the luck of visiting the house of saint Nikiforos, in Chania Crete. Before that i visited twice the tomb of Saint Eumenios Saridakis, since his house in Ethia, is close to my village. I have icons of both of them in my iconostasis. My faith is weak and so i had to visit these places so that i become a better Christian. I even had the luck of visiting many times gerontissa Galaktia of Crete. I am poor in my faith and have to be encouraged often by the life of our saints.
    You, who were not born into Orthodoxy as we were, but searched for the Truth and found Orthodoxy, you will receive a greater " payment" than us, who were born into Orthodoxy and are trying to live a life "in Christ" Thank you for your beautiful video. Ihsous Christos Nika.

      This is the difference in Phronema for the Orthodox.
      For example, the Orthodox do have Apparitions of The Theotokos, we Celebrate a major one on October 1st, but until the repose of all involved there wasn't a Commemoration for it. As well as the Theotokos appearing to St. Seraphim of Sarov and his wishes being that it only be revealed that it happened after his death.
      Compared to Fatima in Portugal, which had all three of the youngsters alive and had open Commemoration, though not Papal Recognition, and it's "3 Secrets".
      It's two different religions.

      @@acekoala457 Nonsense. The Blessed Virgin Mary is already in Heaven. If she requests a shrine to be built in Her honour then it is done. Your ignorance of Fatima is astounding. The three children suffered terrible persecutions. They even had agreed to not tell anyone about their visions. Two of them died very young while the other lived unto old age secluded in a convent. The amazing miracle was a sign from God to show the world the importance of the message. Both believers and nonbelievers witnessed the sign and it even appeared in secular papers.
      I don't like to attack people for belonging to other Christian sects than my own. But I certainly defend my Church when attacked. May God have mercy on your soul.

    that video hits home very much. I am 27, since I was 11 I have been covered in Psoriasis, first the head then the body, to eventually be 100% covered. I know its not leporsy, but trust me, at school people avoided me saying I had leprosy, rumors spread, thank God for my friends who never judged me for the most part. This condition didnt allow me to date any girl, to go to the beach or work at 100% capacity but it did put me on this road of spirituality, trying to find meaning in all of this and in my life. Now I didnt start floating like Saint Nikephoros, However since I turned to orthodoxy and to christ my skin started being better. It wasnt a disease, it was Providence.

Then i realized that some of my coworkers and friends were also there, and were happy to meet each other unexpectedly like that, we had no idea anyone else we knew was interested in such things. Not sure what significance that has, if any, but it was a good dream.

    The spiritual child of Saint Neikeiforos was saint saint Evmenios who became possessed by the devil because he saw Saint Nikioforos levitating in the air while praying and thinking that he (saint Evmenios) was someone important that God let him see the true nature of his spiritual father.
    Latεr on he repended and he was relieved and from the demon and from his desease (he was also a leper) and became a great modern saint.
    He was monk back then with the name Sofronios, and 30 years old, Fathers Anbastasios and Nikodeimos in a Cretan Monastery, where Saint Evmenios started his monsaticism healed him from the demons, his leprocy was healed laer on with he discovery of the leprocy treatment around 1943.

      What are you asking? I can't even tell if you meant to write "channel" or "chancel". Not sure what you mean in either case.

    I know many of you are saved. But i don't understand praying to saints when you have Jesus and the Holy Spirit. What other intercessor is higher than those two?

      Powerful are the prayers of the righteous. James 5:16
      Why do you ask people around you to pray for you? That's also why Orthodox ask for the intercession of saints.
      There's probably more answers to your question but I'm still learning.

      @Vegabond_WC praying to the dead is forbidden though.
