Here is the site of Panagia of Zorochoumbi, also called Panagia of Glossa. It is located about 15–20 minutes from the main road. It lies south of the village of Kellaki, about 5 minutes away. The area is called “Listogonos Mountain,” and it received this name because in old times, pirate ships used to stop there after carrying out raids. The robbers would escape to this mountain to hide, since it was difficult to access. In the past, there was a small village here, which was later abandoned. The inhabitants moved further down. Perhaps this happened because of the raids, to stay hidden, or maybe because of the cold—we do not know. Many ruins remained here, which people called “ruined houses.” Gradually, as people began cultivating gardens in the area, they cleared the land. The first church that existed here was a small chapel, serving as a rural chapel of the village. Some historians date it to the 12th century, others to the 15th century—we are not certain. As we said, this was originally a chapel of Zoodochos Pigi (Life-Giving Spring). Later, the residents leveled the area, intending to use it either for storage or construction. However, in 1976, the metropolitan bishop requested the land to establish a monastery. The local community agreed, along with the priest, and gave the land for this purpose. Thus, in 1976, it became a monastery. Four nuns came from Saint George Domanos, and the monastery began as a communal women’s monastery. Later, the large church of the Holy Trinity was built, which is now the main church (katholikon) of the monastery. It is a beautiful Byzantine-style church. The wooden carvings inside are handmade, dating from around the 1800s. They are remarkable works of art, with symbolic representations such as the phoenix, the vine, and the peacock. These carvings are of great value. The Church of the Holy Trinity was built by the priest of Saint Tychon, Father Kyriakos, together with his wife. Later, other chapels were built, including the chapel of All Saints next to the Holy Trinity. Also, on the first floor of the monastery, there are chapels dedicated to Saint Savvas and Saint Ambrose. There are also many accounts of miracles. A couple once brought their six-year-old child, who could not speak. They stayed overnight at the monastery and prayed to the Virgin Mary for their child to speak. The next morning, at dawn, the child woke up and said, “Mom, I want milk,” even though he had never spoken before. This was considered a miracle of Panagia, and many such miracles have occurred. Another man came recently and said that after praying and repeating the prayer three times for his child, the child’s tongue was opened, and he began to speak. We should also mention the holy water (hagiasma) found here at Zoodochos Pigi. It flows from a rock behind the monastery. However, for easier access, it has been brought to a fountain in front because it is difficult to reach the back. In another case, the Virgin Mary appeared in a dream to a woman who was in the final stages of cancer. She told her to come there, describing the route with turns, and said, “There you will find me, Panagia of Glossa, and my daughters (the nuns) who care for me.” When the woman arrived, she recognized the place exactly as shown in the dream, and her cancer was completely healed. Another woman brought her daughter, who was about to undergo surgery for tumors in her neck. A prayer (paraklesis) was performed, asking the Virgin Mary to perform a miracle. The next day, the girl returned running with her arms open, saying, “I have nothing! They took me for surgery, and there was nothing.” The Virgin Mary had performed a miracle. The girl still visits the monastery and celebrates Panagia with great joy. There was also a nine-year-old child from Russia who had never spoken a single word. After a prayer service and anointing with oil, the child began to speak fluently, as if he had always spoken, with no problem at all. The feast of Panagia here is celebrated on the Friday of Bright Week, the week after Easter, known as Renewal Week. That Friday is dedicated to Zoodochos Pigi. Here, she is also known as Panagia of Glossa. There is also a celebration on Thomas's Sunday. Many people come bringing offerings, often silver tokens, asking for miracles. After receiving help, many return to offer silver plaques inscribed with the word “thank you,” expressing their deep gratitude to Panagia.

AFTER ERDOGAN

Θα ξεμπαρκάρουν οι Τούρκοι από το νότιο μέρος της Κρήτης, από τα Πρεβελιώτικα (Μοναστήρι Πρέβελη) και από το Μαριδάκι, από το χωριό Χόνδρος, κοντά στους Καλούς Λιμένες Ηρακλείου. Οι Τούρκοι θα κάνουν ένα πέρασμα και από τα μέρη που θα περνούν θα κάνουν γενική σφαγή και καταστροφή. Στην Επαρχία Μεραμβέλλου Λασιθίου, θα γίνει μεγάλο μακελειό και καταστροφή. Το βογγητό και το κλάμα των ανθρώπων θα ακούεται από την Βουβάλα, βουνό στις Μελάμπες Ρεθύμνου.

(in the Orthodox Easter)

Each year in Jerusalem, in the tomb of Jesus Christ comes the holy light (in the Orthodox Easter) and only the Orthodox Patriarch can take it. If you only look for this and why Catholics can not get it either Protestant or... The Holy Fire (Greek, agios phos, literally “Holy Light”) is a miracle that occurs every year at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem on Holy Saturday, the day preceding Pascha. It is considered by many to be the longest-attested annual miracle in the Christian world, though the event has only been documented consecutively since 1106

In paradise

we do not go to paradise simply by admitting that we believe in Jesus. This is Pentecostal hallucinations. Devils also believe and admit the same. Wake up and learn the truth from Orthodox «Αιρετικόν άνθρωπον μετά μίαν και δευτέραν νουθεσίαν παραιτού» (Απ. Παύλος Τίτ. Γ10). Οι Ορθόδοξοι όμως επιμένουμε να μετέχουμε συνεχώς σε συναθροίσεις αιρετικών Και βέβαια υπάρχουν οι Αποστολικοί κανόνες που ορίζουν ότι επιβάλλεται να μην έχομε πνευματική επαφή μαζί τους, για όποιον τυχόν δεν κατάλαβε τα προηγούμενα αποσπάσματα των Γραφών

Right of reincarnation fans to believe what they want

Let us remember Job who his friends told him to have sinned and punished, while misery was a test of his faith toward God. Moreover, if Christ accepted the reincarnation, he would not heal the blind, but would leave him so that he would now be forgiven the debt of sins of his previous life and the next to be born in better condition! These from the Bible can not be called a Christian, and at the same time believe in Hindu beliefs ... Right of reincarnation fans to believe what they want. But they are not allowed to falsify the Bible to support their theory. The Bible at every point of her reverses the reincarnation. If reincarnation was in force, it is not justified to see Elijah's tumultuous rise to the sky, since the body has no value nor its appearance in transformation, since it must have been lost in the divine as a perfect one. Moses, how did he appear himself? He had not been reincarnated during the 1,250 years since his death until the time of Christ; People believe in the reincarnation of its tricks, devils.Orthodox Christianity preaches the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, which means that he conquered sin and death for us. Having tasted death for all, Christ lives forever. He will resurrect all our dead bodies on the last day and reunite them with our souls. If indeed, as the Ephesians suggest, 'we' are chosen in Him before the foundation of the world, then if 'you' live multiple lives ... which 'you' resurrects? -Certainly not all of 'you' ... this would create two simultaneous instances of the same thing that Aquinas has demonstrated is not 'good'. Also, if 'you' are perfected, how many perfects can there be?

Ορθοδοξία

Η Εκκλησία όμως που ίδρυσε ο Κύριος Ιησούς Χριστός, και παρέλαβαν οι Απόστολοι, και συνεχίζει να διατηρείται ανόθευτη μέχρι σήμερα μόνο στην Ορθοδοξία, δεν έγινε από ανθρώπινη προσπάθεια όπως αυτές της Δύσης, και δεν μπορούμε επομένως να προσθέσουμε ή να αφαιρέσουμε εμείς με διαλόγους κάτι από Αυτήν.

βουδιστής ή Χριστός θα επιλέξετε Ένας βουδιστής μοναχός είχε ακούσει τις φήμες που κυκλοφορούσαν για το γέροντα Παΐσιο και αποφάσισε να τον επισκεφτεί. Όταν τον βρήκε στην καλύβα του, του είπε πως με τη βοήθεια του διαλογισμού ήταν ικανός να αιωρείται στον αέρα. Ο γέροντας δεν τον πίστεψε και απάντησε: “Ο άνθρωπος είναι φτιαγμένος για να πατάει στο χώμα”. Ο βουδιστής τότε έκατσε και διαλογίστηκε και μετά από λίγα λεπτά αιωρήθηκε, δύο μέτρα πάνω από το έδαφος. Ο Παΐσιος μόλις το είδε αυτό κίνησε το χέρι του προς αυτόν, λέγοντας: “Ε, τώρα κάτσε εκεί”! Ο βουδιστής μοναχός έντρομος ανακάλυψε πως δεν μπορούσε να κινηθεί ούτε προς τα πάνω ούτε προς τα κάτω. Ο γέροντας Παΐσιος του εξήγησε πως οι δυνάμεις που του επέτρεπαν να το κάνει αυτό ήταν δαιμονικές και αυτός με τη βοήθεια του Θεού τις εξουδετέρωσε

αυτή η δοκιμαστική περίοδος δεν είναι για να μας προετοιμάσει να πεθάνουμε, αλλά να ζήσουμε, ότι η επιθυμία του Πατρός για εμάς είναι ώστε να μπορέσουμε να αποφύγουμε κάθε σφάλμα και να λάβουμε κάθε αλήθεια και εφαρμόζοντας την αλήθεια στη ζωή μας, να γίνουμε περισσότερο σαν Εκείνον και να γίνουμε άξιοι να κατοικήσουμε μαζί Του
