St. Paul’s Orthodox Church (get map<\/a>), the sister parish of St. Peter’s, will host the Myrrh Streaming and Miracle Working Icon of the Theotokos on October 19, 2018 from 6:00pm to 8:30pm. <\/p>\n

From Fr. Paul Girgis in the St. Paul Newsletter:<\/p>\n

\"Myrrh<\/p>\n

Unworthy though we be, our Lord has found it most fitting that our parish receive the great blessing of welcoming Hawaii’s Miraculous Myrrh-Streaming Icon of the Theotokos to Naples for the first time. <\/p>\n

We will pray a simple but beautiful service of supplication and have the opportunity to venerate the icon of the Mother of God, offer prayers, and be anointed with her fragrant, and miraculous, myrrh as it literally streams-forth in our midst. <\/p>\n

Since June of 2008, She has been to over 1000 churches in North America of all (canonical) jurisdictions, and has been venerated by an estimated one million people throughout the United States and canada. In many cities, the holy Icon is taken from one parish to another, being venerated by all the Orthodox clergy, and helping to establish and heal relationships amongst the Orthodox faithful, and also strengthening and fostering ties between the sister parishes. <\/p>\n

Requests have now been made for the Wonderworking Icon to be brought to Russia, the Ukraine, Greece, Cyprus, South America, Europe, the Holy Land, Romania, Mount Athos, and Serbia. When the Holy Icon was taken to the Republic of Georgia in 2014 at the request of the Catholicos-Patriarch ILIA II of Georgia, over a million faithful came to venerate the “Panagia of Hawaii.” A number of miracles, including the healing of cancer, were reported to the Georgian Patriarchate.<\/p>\n
