Dear Friends of Saint Dumitru Monastery,

By the compassions of the Mother of God and with the blessing of His Eminence Metropolitan Nicolae, we received news that Her miraculous and myrrh-streaming Hawaiian Icon will visit our monastery on Tuesday, May 27, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. This is an immeasurably great blessing for our monastery. We invite everyone to accompany the Icon with prayer in the church of our monastery.

8:00 a.m. – Receiving of the Icon
8:15 a.m. – Matins
9:30 a.m. – Divine Liturgy
11:00 a.m. – Anointing with Myrrh from the Icon
12:00 p.m. – Departure of the Icon

In June of 2008, the “Hawaiian” Myrrh-streaming Iveron Icon was officially recognized by the Russian Orthodox Church as miraculous and worthy of veneration. Since then, the Icon has been venerated by millions of people throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and the world. Numerous miracles have been attributed to the Theotokos through this “humble little Icon”, hundreds of verified accounts were collected, and are indeed miraculous. Physical and spiritual healings have included the healing of blindness and eye disease, cancer, demonic possession, paralysis, kidney disease, chronic pain, and debilitating viruses. Wherever the holy Icon goes, the Grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ and His Holy Mother abound. For more information, please visit: https://www.orthodoxhawaii.org/icons.
