The Recent Appearance of a Cross in a Tree Trunk in Krini


September 14, 2013

The story of the cross in the pine tree over the past three days has been learned throughout the village and spread from one person to another.

Last Thursday, September 12th, a resident of Krini (Northern Greece) while cutting wood was caught by surprise. While he was trying to cut the trunk of a pine tree, the machine he used to chop the wood began "turning".

The trunk would not cut, no matter what the effort! Meanwhile he tried to cut other trunks with the same machine and it worked normally. He then tried again several times, but the result was the same!

This wood, as he told Patrasevents.gr, he was not able to "rip" out. When he looked closer he saw the image above. A cross was engraved in the wood!

As much as he tried to explain the incident logically, he was not able to. In the evening at the cafe he told all his neighbors what happened, and he approached the priest of the area who replied that it is the will of the Lord for the trunk to not be cut.

The older people are mainly talking about a miracle while this particular man is keeping the wood in his house and he is guarding it like the "pupil of his eye".

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.
