Many many thanks to all those who contributed to match a generous $3000 donation from an anonymous donor. The goal was attained this past weekend. It is because of people like you that the Mystagogy Resource Center can continue to offer unique material to all for free on a daily basis that I hope people find beneficial. For those who still wish to contribute, please do so, with much gratitude in return. God bless you all!

How Saint Iakovos of Evia Saved a Professor from a Dangerous Situation


Mr. D.M., a Professor of Literature in Greek Education, told us on 2 February 1997 at the Theological School where we were with Holy Skull of Venerable David the Elder the following:

"One night, a few days ago, I saw very vividly in my dream Elder Iakovos [Tsalikis] and he said to me:

'My child D., open the hood of your car, because you are in danger.'

Indeed, in the morning, before heading out, I opened the hood and saw that the engine was covered in oil and there was no oil in the engine at all.

When I towed the car to the garage, the mechanic found that the brakes were also diminished [not working].

The Elder saved me from great danger."
