Hatzi Ananias of Crete Has Been Proposed for Canonization


The Holy Hatzi Ananias was an ascetic and archimandrite of the 19th century who reposed in 1907, and whose official canonization process began in April, although in the consciousness of the people of Crete he is already a renowned Saint who has worked countless miracles (87 were recently published in a book with the names, phone numbers and addresses of the recipients, as well as many photos) and is celebrated every year on April 22nd. The 93 year old archimandrite Ioannikios Androulakis gathered all the information about his life while he restored and served as abbot of the Monastery of Panagia Exakoustis in Ierapetra, which was founded by Hatzi Ananias.

Below is a news report of the most recent feast where it was revealed that Hatzi Ananias has been submitted to be officially recognized as a Saint, along with testimonials of miracles through the intercessions of Hatzi Ananias from some who attended the feast from throughout Greece.

For more than fifteen years, the Mystagogy Resource Center has been a labor of love dedicated to making the riches of the Orthodox Christian tradition freely available to people throughout the world.

Thousands of articles, translations, lives of saints, theological reflections, historical resources, and daily materials have been published across this ministry’s websites, all offered free of charge for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Orthodox faith.

This is a one-man ministry that requires countless hours of research, translation, writing, editing, and maintenance each day.

If this work has spiritually benefited, educated, encouraged, or inspired you in any way, I humbly ask you to consider supporting this ministry financially.

Generous annual and monthly benefactors make possible the continuation and expansion of this work for the future, for without such support this ministry cannot exist.

Every contribution, whether large or small, truly makes a difference and is deeply appreciated. May God bless you abundantly for your generosity and prayers.
