There was a very poor woman that was living in a small
village in the center part of Greece and she had three children. She was able
to raise them with incredible difficulties and in immense poverty. However, she
never lost her integrity and her love for Christ. Her name was Vasiliki. She died
one day before the celebration of our Mother, the Theotokos, in 1998. The next
day which was the 15th of August, her body was in a very cheap coffin on the
pickup track of the priest on the way to the cemetery to be buried. On the way to the burial site, there were a
few people from her village following and they were talking about how difficult
was her life, when suddenly the entire area started smelling incredibly nice
like there were a thousand flowers at this spot. Among the people following her
there was a spiritual child of Elder Ambrosios Lazaris (1912-2006). When the
Elder learned about the incidence he said: “This woman is among the Saints in
the Heaven and do you know why? Because she never complained in her life. God
wants people like her to fill the Paradise and to have the Second Coming.”
