A Myrrh-flowing Icon In Ukraine's Maniavskyi Monastery
A
Myrrh-flowing Icon In Ukraine's Maniavskyi Monastery
In the
Maniavskyi Monastery in western Ukraine, which is called the "Ukrainian
Athos," an Icon of the Mother of God began to shed the holy ointment,
reported TSN.
The monks are
anxious because the last time the icon shed the holy ointment four years ago,
exactly before the great flood which affected the whole of western Ukraine.
They have no idea what it can mean now. But they are convinced that the Virgin
Mary cautions people about something.
It is as if
the icon is crying, as the ointment trickles down the right eye. According to
the monks, the “trickle” is getting longer with each day. They have no doubt
that it is a wonder. “There is no humidity, but cold and frost, everything is
frozen and it sheds the holy ointment,” said Metropolitan Ioasaf of
Ivano-Frankivsk and Halych of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Kyivan
Patriarchate.
The
Wonder-working Icon “Hegumenness of Maniavskyi Monastery” is one of the main
local shrines. It is a copy of the original which disappeared when the
monastery was closed down. The original was painted in the 17th century after
the Holy Virgin appeared to the Superior during an epidemic and told him to
repent. After earnest prayers of the monks
the epidemic subsided.
