Spiritual travels in Greece: Αυγούστου 2023

The famous island of Crete (like all of Greece), apart from its beautiful natural landscapes and open-hearted people, also has great spiritual treasures. One of them is the many saints who lived there. Some of them are ancient, while some others are people of our time.
We refer our dear visitors to a tribute to the saints of Crete, from the Mystagogy blog.

Saints of Crete

St Evmenios Saridakis (1999, May 23)

The five holy and miracle-working Virgin Martyrs of Argyroupoli, Rethymnon, Crete

Ten Holy Martyrs, the First Martyrs of Crete (December 23)

HOLY FIRE - The Miracle of the Light of the Resurrection at the Tomb of Jesus

Seventy authors —fourteen French, nine Englishmen, seven Byzantine Greeks, six Germans, five Armenians, five Muslim Arabs, four Italians, four Persians, three Russians, three Icelanders, two Egyptians, two Chaldeans, one Syrian, one Moldavian, one Ethiopian, one Belgian, one Austrian and one Swiss— describe the greatest miracle of the Christian world: the Holy Fire (i.e., the Light of the Resurrection of Christ) which appears every Holy Saturday at the tomb of Jesus, a few hours before the celebration of his resurrection. Furthermore, the scientific measurements that were taken in the tomb of Jesus on Holy Saturday in 2008 by Associate Professor Antrey Volkov, confirm the descent of the Holy Fire and reveal three phenomena, which he himself characterizes as “incredible and entirely inexplicable.” (Click on the image)
