Miracles of God
This is the true story of a girl and her great love for a younger brother, who fell ill. Only a complicated and expensive operation could save him. The parents pledged all the property and raised the loan, but that was not enough. One night, the father told the crying mother, "It can't go on like this, dear. I think we have come to the end, only the miracle of God can save him. "
​
The girl listened all the way in the corner of the room. She ran to her room, shattered the cash register and ran to a nearby pharmacy. She waited patiently, and when it came to her turn she climbed on her toes and listened to her apothecary in front of the pharmacist. "What do you want, honey?"
"That's for my brother, sir, he's very sick. I came to buy a miracle. "
"I didn't understand you best," said the pharmacist.
"My brother's name is Andrew. There's something growing on his head, Daddy says it's over, only a miracle can save him. I love my brother, that's why I brought all the money to buy the miracle. "
The apothecary smiled sadly and replied: "But we don't sell miracles.
"If there's not enough money, I can still look. How much does a miracle cost? "
At the pharmacy, there was a tall, handsome man with a serious face who followed the conversation with interest. As the apothecary spread her arms helplessly, the little girl weptly collected her coins.
The tall man approached her and asked: "Why are you crying, honey? What happened?"
"The pharmacist will not sell me a miracle and will not tell me how much it costs. This is for my brother Andrew, who is very ill. Mom says she has to go to surgery, and dad that we can't pay for it and that Andrew can only save the miracle of God. So I brought everything I had. "
"How much have you got?"
"A dollar and eleven cents ... But you know," ahe added quietly, "I can look for more money ..."
The man smiled. "I don't think they will need it. A miracle for your brother costs a dollar and eleven cents! With one hand he picked up the little thing and the other gently took the girl by the hand.
"Take me to your house," he said, "I'd like to see your brother and talk to your dad and mom. We may be able to find the miracle they need. "
A handsome senior gentleman and a girl walked out of the pharmacy holding hands. That man was Professor Carlton Amstrong, one of the world's most famous neurosurgeons. He operated on little Andrew, who had fully recovered in a few weeks.
"This operation is a miracle," Mom said. "I just wonder how much it cost ..."
The girl smiled without saying anything. She knew that God sent a doctor and that the miracle cost a dollar and eleven cents. Her brother was saved by her love and faith, and they have no price.
Father Kozma, a priest of the village of Kasazi, who is around the city of Lualaba in Katanga province (Shaba), spoke of this miracle. "Good Friday evening. The service is being served at the new Church of the Apostle Paul. There was a moment when they wore the Shroud in the lithium around the temple. They all have candles lit: three candles are attached to the cross. But as soon as we went out of the temple, a strong wind extinguished all the candles.And here, when there is still about 40 meters left to enter the church, a miracle happens: before the eyes of all three candles above the cross are lit by themselves. The candle flame strongly illuminates the cross and does not extinguish, despite the very strong wind. Everyone: both parishioners and the curious were - amazed.The voice said, "Look at the blessing power of the Orthodox Church!"But atheist says:" In it is hidden the tremendous power that the Lord bestowed upon her to destroy us! " However, this miracle has borne fruit. Within six months we have baptized 170 converts. "
Hariton, one of the catechists of the Parish of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin, talked about the miracle that happened to his wife, Xenia. "At the time, my wife was very unwell. On Sunday we went to the church together to pray. At home she got worse, the pain intensified.At night, three strangers came to her in her sleep. They stood by their heads and began to read their prayers. Then one of them stood before her and said. "Look, the Son of God has come to heal you ..." At that moment the woman woke up and jumped out of bed in extreme excitement. She told me what she saw. She assured me that the pains were gone and that she felt completely healthy. And really. , the next day we went to work together on the field.
Father Spiridon, deacon of the parish of the Holy Martyrs of Faith, Hope, Love and their mother Sophia in Capuchin, told us the following."One Christian, Vasily, took the exams. He did not know the answer to almost any of the questions asked. "How will I pass the exams," he thought all the time. Thinking he went to the temple.He asked us to give him holy water, not saying what he needed. Entering the amphitheater, before the assignment was announced, he flooded his head with holy water, praying: “Lord Jesus Christ, hurry for help. Enlighten my mind so that I may respond well. "The professor wrote the assignments on the board. Vasily, with the help of God, solved all the tasks and first submitted the work. The lecturer was amazed: how he, who rarely attends lectures, was able to respond so quickly? He looked at the answers and was even more amazed: everything was true. Then he asked him:
- How did you solve all this if you didn't study? "
-I didn't even do anything," the student replied.
The teacher asked him what temple he was going to. Vasily replied
: - Orthodox!
"Keep going there," replied the lecturer, "because indeed, there they glorify the true God
Father Spiridon told us another event. "It happened in 1988. I brought to our village the icon of Saint Nicholas , and set it in the yard. I didn't go out of the yard that day.One woman, moving into work with other people, saw the icon and began scornfully saying, “So who is it? It looks like a criminal "just look at his hideous face!"and other people, even though they were not Orthodox Christians, answered her, "Do not insult so the Saints whose icon Father Spiridon brought."But she disobeyed them and continued to insult the Miracle Creator. At night in her sleep she saw a worthy seven-year-old man in beautiful clothes. He begged her with a blanket.
- Why did you insult me?
"I didn't insult you," she replied.
Then the Saint told her:
- I'm the one you mocked yesterday. And here I called you myself, and again, like yesterday, you are rude to me.
The woman fell to her knees before him and said:
-Oh, the Saint! Forgive me, I will not insult you again.
"Beware, do not mock me further," said the Saint, and disappeared.
2002, Great Lent. My wife and I were returning from a vigil on Thursday. As I was very tired, I told my wife to go to bed immediately. Not reading the evening rule, I hurried to bed. Around midnight, my wife woke me up saying, "Listen, something's going on with our daughter Paraskeva!"The daughter was lifeless, though there were no signs of powerlessness in the evening. I was very upset. It soon became clear that he had malaria. The disease is life-threatening, especially for children, because it turns their blood into water.The child burns away from her very quickly. The wife began to cry inconsolably, saying her daughter would not survive. I took the little girl in my arms and, in front of the icon of the Mother of God, sang "Worthy Is It."The cry was heard by the neighbors and came. With my baby in my arms, I opened the door. "Paraskeva," I called her. She opened her eyes. It was already midnight.We all went to the nearest ambulance together. The temperature was dropped. Upon returning home, the daughter revived and even started playing. The Blessed Virgin has healed!
That same father recounted another incident regarding his second child. "My son Peter also developed malaria somehow. We immediately took him to the hospital that night.We immediately took him to the hospital that night. My wife was in the hospital with him, and I stayed home. Standing before the icons, I addressed the Blessed Virgin Mary: “Holy Mother of God, unholy ones insult You day and night, but I believe in You, belong to You and pray.Allow me to celebrate the glorious Name of Thy miracles tomorrow. Don't leave my son in the hospital. I stand before You in sadness. "I brought tea to my son in the morning and went straight to work. Already at noon the doctor discharged him from the hospital. After returning home with my husband, I thanked the Blessed Virgin Mary for her prompt representation. "
This miracle happened to the author of this site and reads like this. It happened during the midnight service on Easter in 2019. We went around the church. There was no strong wind.We went in and I saw that the chandeliers were spinning on their own. I looked at my mother and showed her they turning.I think other people who were looking at me at that moment saw the miracle of God.The chandeliers are at high altitude and heavy so that no human force has triggered them. After a few minutes they stopped turning.

Budimirka Todorovic from Belgrade had a severe stroke on June 04, 2018.According to doctors, it was difficult to survive. Son Zoran and his family came to the Tumane Monastery to pray at St. Zosimus.At the hospital, he anointed his mother with oil from a candle and washed and drank water from the source of the Saints.To the amazement of the doctors and family, she recovered.
​
"I would like to share with you my personal experience with the Tumane Monastery. My mother-in-law saw an article on television about your monastery, and then she bought Alo novine, in which a booklet about the monastery was published. At that time, my husband and I were on our way to Novi Pazar, so we went to Belgrade to the Church of St. Petka and to Zeleznik at the source of St. Petka. After returning from Novi Pazar, my mother-in-law asked us if we would like to go with her to the Tumane Monastery on May 20, to which we agreed without thinking.
There were five of us, my mother-in-law, my husband's aunt, my aunt's brother and the two of us. There was a lot of world, and we all came with great hope. It was wonderful for us. Each of us prayed to ourselves for what we wanted. We wrote the names on a piece of paper to read the prayer for health.
What I want to state is that I got pregnant exactly on that date (July 20, 2018), even though we hadn't planned it yet. My husband and I have been together for a total of 12 years, we did not dare to work on the pregnancy because of my employment, I was not accepted indefinitely. I think that the baby I am carrying is a blessing, and that it all happened because of coming to the Tumane Monastery. Thank you St. Zosimus and St. Jacob to the Tuman miracle workers. As soon as the opportunity arises, we will certainly head to the Tumane Monastery. ”

She spoke about the miracle of St. Spyridon in 1976. old woman Zinovija Sideri (lived to be 102 years old) was one of the many witnesses who attended this event, about which the Athenian newspaper Skrip also wrote at the time.
Here is what old woman Zinovija said:
It was the feast of the Nativity of Christ according to the new calendar. At that time, I had not yet crossed the old calendar. I came to the evening service in the church of St. Nikolai. The temple was full of people. I was standing on the left side next to a pillar. Above me on that pillar hung the icon of St. Spyridon, a gift from Antonio Lumidis of Piraeus. The icon was decorated with flowers that have remained since the celebration of the saint according to the new calendar.
When the priest who served the Liturgy, Father Silas, after a small entrance, began to smoke and sing the troparion of God: "The Nativity of Your Christ our God", the icon of St. Spyridon suddenly began to strike the pillar so hard that all the flowers that were on it fell down. The people were horrified when they saw this sign. The priest and the singers stopped chanting. Then one of the people shouted: "Today, according to the old calendar, the holiday of St. Spyridon. Sing him a troparion! ”
Singers and priests are "dumb". At that moment, the believers all sang together: "Sabora pervago pokazalsja jesi pobornik i cudotvorec, Bogonosni Spiridone, otce nash…" (troparion of the Saint).
And only at the time of the chanting of the troparion to the saint did his icon slowly begin to calm down, and in the end it completely stopped hitting the pillar.
The next day, the newspaper "Karestini" published a statement about that miraculous event. All the inhabitants of Karistos and the surrounding area talked about it and admitted that the Old Calendarists were right. Later, on December 29, the newspaper "Karestini" published:
"On the second day, the icon was not in its place. Many think that it was deliberately removed so that the problem of the calendar would not continue to be discussed, which was started to be discussed in time by the believers, most of whom switched to the old calendar.
And so the public of Karistos justly resents and thinks that someone is viciously playing with religious feelings and sacred icons, because so far the icon has not been returned to its place, despite the insistence of all residents. "
