Dear Readers and Supporters: Last March I told you about an anonymous long time friend and supporter of this ministry who fell on hard times, and a generous portion of you volunteered to help her financially to prevent her eviction and car repossession. Unfortunately, once again she and her child are in a similar difficult position, though a little bit worse. I hate to see this happen to her and not try to help in any way. So if once again you can help out with a financial contribution, it would be greatly appreciated. You can contribute to her through the link below. My hope is that we can raise around $3000 by September 22nd. Thank you.
Day 8: Total So Far: $958

The Myrrhgushing Icon of St. Ephraim the New in Romania


The icon above can be found at the Holy Monastery of Sihastria Rarau in Romania. It performs many miracles and is myrrhgushing.

It began in 2010 when a priest, Father Onufrie Căruntu, visited the Monastery of Saint Ephraim in Nea Makri and purchased an icon of St. Ephraim there for 15 euros. Upon returning to Romania, he brought it to his home. On Easter day in 2010 it began to flow with myrrh. Soon after very many miracles began to follow.

The blog of the Monastery can be found here:

A Romanian website dedicated to St. Ephraim's miracles in Romania is here:

Two books have so far been published in Romania with dozens of testimonies of miracles attributed to St. Ephraim of Nea Makri.
