St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church

I went to vespers here last night, there was a miraculous icon there (I have yet to ask my friend the name of the icon or other info about it), and the service was 2 1/2 hours long, it's a beautiful church, and I was sooo tired after :P











Saw this today:



Here's an icon at St. Benoit de Nursie this morning:

    It's a copy of the myrrh-streaming Iveron Icon of the Mother of God. The original is also miraculous, and so was another copy, since disappeared.

    I once asked a member of an organization called the Skeptics something-or-other, up there in Montreal, to investigate the icon and debunk it if he could.

    He couldn't.

    NOt sure if this copy of the icon produces myrrh, but if so, you can smell it when you are anywhere near the icon.

    Hi again, this is Andrew, ex-pat living in Albany. The myrrh-streaming icon was no fake; I was still in Montreal when it was here, and I can testify to the fact that it was real. The amount of myrrh and the undescribable scent was astounding! It disappeared about 10 years ago in Greece or Spain; its caretaker was brutally murdered in Greece and he is buried in Holy Trinity Monastery in Jordanville, NY (about 4.5 hrs from Montreal).
