With the blessing of His Holiness, Patriarch Kirill and His Eminence, Metropolitan Hilarion, and by invitation of the abbot of Holy Trinity Monastery, the Very Reverend Archimandrite Luke, the Myrrhstreaming Icon of the Theotokos, “Softening of Evil Hearts” God-willing shall reside in Jordanville on the weekend of the 27th Of September. From the 18th of September, visits with the faithful in and around New York City, as well as New England are being planned. After Tuesday, the 29th of September, visits to Upstate New York, Pa. and Washington, DC are scheduled.

The Icon leaves for California on the 5th of October and returns to Russia on the 12th of October.

“All who come with prayer to the “Softening of Evil Hearts”” icon will feel a softening of the heart said the Rector of Bogolubskaya cathedral, Father Victor in the city of Pushkin, outside of Moscow. “Sufferings of the soul and body are made well. If you pray for your enemies before it, their hostile thoughts will depart, leaving in their place a more generous feeling of mercy. Parishioners have witnessed not only cures of evil and envy, but the icon performs miracles for the health of our body as well.  Holy Myrrh flows from the icon in liters.
