The
Appearance of Saint Iakovos Tsalikis in a Photograph 11 Months After His Death
By Dr
Stylianos Papadopoulos
This
photograph which is being published for the first time in the pages of this
edition [Μακαριστός Ιάκωβος Τσαλίκης, 5th edition, published in 2000] was taken
in the cell of the late Elder Iakovos eleven months after his death.
The
Cypriot Hierodeacon who took it wasn’t able to visit the late Elder while he
was alive, so he wanted to take a picture of his cell.
And –
O the miracle! – when the film was developed, everyone was amazed to see the
form of the late Elder.
An
interesting observation has been made about the photo. The late Elder is
full-bodied, in gigantic proportions, in relation to space in his cell and the
very near distance to the wall from where the photo was taken. A professional
Cypriot photographer pointed out that it takes at least 15 feet to shoot a
full-length, upright person!
God is
Glorified in His Saints!
