Greek Orthodox Archbishop Demetrios Makes Special Visit to St. Paul's Cathedral in Hempstead, NY

Details
NEW YORK (20080626) – His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios of America visited the Cathedral of St. Paul in Hempstead, N.Y. on June 23, following a phenomenon that occurred there on June 22, on a small portable icon of St. Nicholas. On the icon, a slightly fragrant liquid substance was observed to have been discharged from the eyes of the Saint.

Following the visit Archbishop Demetrios said: “In the life and history of our Orthodox Church there have been at times examples of phenomena that can not be ascribed to natural causes. The Saints of our Church lead us with their example to the path of God and are asking for us the grace and blessing of God. St. Nicholas in particular is a saint who is a protector and healer and we are certain – as we venerate his holy icon – that he intercedes on our behalf to the benevolent Almighty God.”
