"Nicolaus Ianopoulos" recounted the incident that took place with him as follows:
On October 14, 2000, I was injured in a car accident and taken to hospital. I suffered inflammation in the abdominal wall because of the small intestine that ruptured, a fracture in the lower jaw and another fracture in the left leg bone and a thrombosis in the sciatica. After six months of surgery, I got a slight improvement in the affected organs but the sciatica remained paralyzed. I could not move my toe or bend my knees properly. The doctors told me that I would not be able to walk again because the injury to this nerve impedes the healing and walking of the leg.
I have been praying since I was a little boy. In the course of the two years, after this incident, I prayed so that the Lord God would heal me. But, according to doctors, there was no hope.
On the great Monday night in 2002 I saw in my dream that I was going with my family to the mountain and that I wanted to be the first to reach the summit. I actually got there, but my entire body was wounded and blood covered all my clothes. I was alone on my knees and I screamed with my highest voice: "O You, the Most Holy, wash my leg!"
In the meantime, the sky was clear. Suddenly a lightning bolt struck. The sky became as if it had split into two parts, and the girdle of the Mother of God appeared from above and below and turned around my paralyzed leg. The next morning, when I woke up from my sleep, I tried to understand what I had seen in my dream and hoped for a great recovery, so I decided to do a final operation for the paralyzed leg.
The doctor did not even want to try, because he said there was a great possibility that things would get worse by surgical intervention. We discussed it and told him what I saw in my dream. He said to me, "Well, I will do this for you tomorrow, but only for your great faith."
Tonight, I prayed warmly and lay down on the hospital bed waiting for the operation the next day. A little worried. I begged the Mother of God, St. Nicholas and St. Athanasius the Great to inspire the doctor to do everything well. That night I saw in the dream the doctor puzzled holding my leg, not knowing what to do. Then I saw the saints Nicolas and Athanasius standing, one on the left and the other on his right, guiding him what to do and said to him: On the third day of the operation, I will be able to walk again.
On Friday morning, I had the operation, and on Monday the recovery came. The doctor, in his usual session with the patients, saw that the cast he had put on was broken and told me that this was a bad thing for the operation to succeed. He removed the old cast in order to replace it with a new one and out of curiosity to look at the toe to see if it had worsened. At that moment, I felt something strange, I felt my leg moving. The doctors were dumbfounded when they saw me immobile for a year and a half. I made the sign of the cross and turned to the doctors, overcome by joy and I said to him:
"You see, I told you I will recover," I replied:
"Your faith is your healing."
Today, I am in good health and I was pleased to visit the the Monastery on Holy Mount Athos and prostrated and gave thanks to the Holy Mother of God who healed my legs. And I asked Her to overflow Her blessings to the whole world.
