Orthodox, or Catholics

 Sanctification "is also done by the priests of the Catholic Christians.  But the water, sanctified by their priests, is no different from ordinary water.  It wears out and deteriorates.

 Around the 18th century, something happened in Romania that upset Christians there.  The Catholics said to the Orthodox: "we have the truth, you the error".

 The same was said by the Orthodox to the Catholics.

 Large disputes broke out.

 The two leaders of the Churches (the Orthodox Archbishop and the Cardinal) met and said: "We must do something to calm the spirits".  Both men and women decided to do the sequence of Agiasmos.

 They did (each one separately) the sequence.  They sealed the two swimming pools with the "Agiasmos".

 The Orthodox said to the Catholicos: If our Agiasmos breaks down and yours does not, then we are in error and you in Truth.  But if yours fails, then you are mistaken. "

 The Catholicos accepted it.

 They agreed to open the "swimming pools" after forty days.

 Less than ten days passed and the Virgin Mary appeared to the Orthodox Archbishop, and said to him: “Run!  Take the Cardinal, go to church to check on Agiasmos ".

 They went.  And what did they see?  The consecration of the Catholics smelled unbearable.  Of the Orthodox he was spotless.

 This great event is depicted in a mural at the Romanian Patriarchate in Bucharest.

 Some say, "If I do not see a miracle, I do not believe in God."  You say to them: “Is not Agiasmos a Miracle?  Why does it not spoil?  They answer: "It is the king's fault, where the priest put it".  You tell them: "Put on a king".  They do not put.
