• The faithful in Sochi at the Church of Saint Nina, the Enlightener of Georgia, are talking about a miraculous appearance of a copy of the icon of the Mother of God of the Iberians (Iveron).

  The holy icon was painted in the 19th century and found ashore on 25 October 2013 at a beach the day before the Iveron icon celebrates its feast according to the ecclesiastical calendar, which is October 26th (New Calendar).

Is this true ?

Or is it a setup, due to the fact that some Olympics are scheduled to be held at Sochi ?

I'd LIKE to believe it's a real discovery.
