Ikon Weeping in Hawaii

+
I always pay attention to ikons that weep myrrh.  The meaning is always the same: Repent.  Yes, the myrrh is a blessing, and, yes, people are frequently healed through the miracle.  However, for the faithful the message to all is a call from God to repent. Almost always such a miracle is sent as a warning from Heaven for all to return to the Most High God.

The ikon weeping at the Russian Orthodox parish in Hawaii is one of which you may not have heard, but its significance at this time is striking.  Click here to be taken to a story with video about the ikon.
