Une Minute avec Marie
Faire connaître et aimer Marie
On April 5, 2019, on the occasion of the 4th Salutations to the Most Holy Theotokos, the miraculous icon of Panagia Kardiotissa, originating from the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of St George in Pennsylvania, was brought to Three Hierarchs Greek Orthodox Church in Brooklyn for veneration.
The Presiding priest of the community, Archimandrite Eugene Pappas and a multitude of believers welcomed the sacred icon accompanied by Archbishop Daniel of Pamphilon of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA. …
“With so many problems in the world, the Virgin Mary brings hope, light, protection, and love...”
Fr. Eugene Pappas said, “From this icon everyday there has been eight years of flowing and dripping myrrh fragrant as roses. Thousands of believers across America venerate it for their physical and mental health. The miracles of the icon are truly incalculable. The miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary has traveled to many American cities and for the first time comes to New York.”
Fr. Mark Leasure, presiding priest of St George Church which houses the miraculous icon, said that since 2011, the icon of the Virgin Mary, which was made in the Agia Skepi Holy Monastery in Pennsylvania, has healed hundreds of people from cancer, heart disease, and other serious diseases, while dozens of women who were unable to conceive became mothers. He said, “Every day, we receive letters with prayers from all over the world and all are read in front of the icon.”
