THIS Thursday and Friday, June 25th and 26th, we have the honor of hosting the miracle-working Icon of the Theotokos, which resides in Hawaii, but is making a tour through California. This Icon is streams myrrh, and has worked many miracles of healing of soul and body.
On Thursday, June 25th, the Icon will be in our Sanctuary from about 3 pm. We will celebrate a Paraclesis (Supplication) Service to the holy Theotokos at 6 pm. Please make an effort to join us to supplicate the Theotokos for the healing of friends and family.
On Friday, June 26th, the Icon will be in our Sanctuary for an Orthros (8:30 am) and Divine Liturgy (9:30 am). Again, if you are able, please join us for these services. The Icon will leave Saint Barbara’s at about 1 pm on Friday.
Please invite friends and neighbors – Orthodox or non-Orthodox – as it is indeed a rare opportunity to behold such a miracle in today’s times.
