On the converse to the Merry Christmas post by Mor Ephrem, a Blessed Feast Day to anyone whose name saint is celebrated today!
St. Spyridon (Spiridon) the Wonderworker of Tremithon.
St. Herman of Alaska;
Hieromartyr Juvenal;
Martyr Peter the Aleut.
By the prayers of our patron saints may God have mercy on us!
NO SCIENTIST WHO HAS EXAMINED THE BODY COULD EXPLAIN THIS PHENOMENON! St. Spyridon is soft, flexible, placed in an open larnax (whereas Papists keep their 'incorrupt saints' in shut cases so air won't come in!), exposed to the Mediterranean heat and humidity!!!! No chemicals have been found, of course!
If anyone doesn't mind, let me give some little historic of Saint Spyridon's reliquary. As you know, (or might know now) that Trimythous (or Tremithon) is in Cyprus. Trimythounta (as we Greeks from Cyprus call it) is in the Northern Part of Cyprus, which the Turks have barbaricly taken over it by Genocide on 1974. Along the history of Corfu (the Latin name for Cercyra the island), the Corfeans venerated Saint Spyridon very dearly, and in the second World War, the Germans with the Italians were bombing Greece, when they aimed for Corfu in 1948. At the very evening of August 11/July 29, the faithful did a Supplicatory Canon to Saint Spyridon, where he was seen, in the skys, in the way of the Aircrafts of the Germans preventing them from bombing the island. So the autocephalus Church of Cyprus, having to honor Saint Spyridon, gave as a blessing to the Metropolis of Corfu, as a blessing of the actual Saint.
