Anninos Blog 3: Saint Porphyrios was already deceased when he answered that phone call

ΟΛΟ ΚΑΙ ΠΕΡΙΣΣΟΤΕΡΟΙ ΣΤΡΕΦΟΝΤΑΙ ΣΤΙΣ ΠΡΟΦΗΤΕΙΕΣ ΤΩΝ ΑΓΙΩΝ ΤΗΣ ΟΡΘΟΔΟΞΙΑΣ Τα τελευταία χρόνια, όλο και περισσότεροι άνθρωποι σε διάφορες χώρες δείχνουν ενδιαφέρον για τις προφητείες και τις πνευματικές μαρτυρίες των Αγίων και Γερόντων της Ορθόδοξης Εκκλησίας. Μέσα σε έναν κόσμο γεμάτο πολέμους, ανασφάλεια, φόβο και μεγάλες αλλαγές, πολλοί άνθρωποι αναζητούν απαντήσεις στην πνευματική παράδοση της Ορθοδοξίας και μελετούν λόγους που αποδίδονται σε Αγίους και Γέροντες. Για τους πιστούς της Ορθοδοξίας, όμως, η αλήθεια της πίστης δεν στηρίζεται μόνο σε προφητείες ή σε προβλέψεις για το μέλλον. Η Ορθοδοξία καλεί τον άνθρωπο να γνωρίσει τον Χριστό, να μετανοήσει, να αγαπήσει τον Θεό και τον συνάνθρωπό του και να αγωνιστεί για τη σωτηρία της ψυχής του. Οι αυθεντικές προφητείες, όπου είναι γνήσιες και εκκλησιαστικά αποδεκτές, δεν αποτελούν «μαντεία». Η πνευματική τους αξία βρίσκεται κυρίως στην προειδοποίηση, στη μετάνοια και στην πνευματική προετοιμασία του ανθρώπου. Και ίσως αυτός είναι ένας από τους λόγους για τους οποίους, σε μια εποχή μεγάλης αβεβαιότητας, πολλοί άνθρωποι στρέφονται ξανά προς την πνευματική παράδοση της Ορθόδοξης Εκκλησίας. «Ἰησοῦς Χριστὸς χθὲς καὶ σήμερον ὁ αὐτός, καὶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας.» — Προς Εβραίους 13:8 ⸻ MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE TURNING TO THE PROPHECIES OF THE ORTHODOX SAINTS In recent years, more and more people in different countries have shown interest in the prophecies and spiritual testimonies of the Saints and Elders of the Orthodox Church. In a world filled with wars, uncertainty, fear, and great changes, many people are searching for answers in the spiritual tradition of Orthodoxy and are studying words attributed to Saints and Elders. For Orthodox Christians, however, the truth of the faith does not rest only on prophecies or predictions about the future. Orthodoxy calls every person to know Christ, to repent, to love God and their fellow human beings, and to struggle for the salvation of the soul. Authentic prophecies, where they are genuine and recognized within the Church, are not fortune-telling. Their spiritual purpose is primarily to warn, call people to repentance, and prepare them spiritually. And perhaps this is one of the reasons why, in an age of great uncertainty, many people are once again turning toward the spiritual tradition of the Orthodox Church. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” — Hebrews 13:8

If someone asks you: “How can it be proven that Orthodoxy is the only true faith?” Answer them: a) The Holy Fire is miraculously given only to the Orthodox and to no heterodox or non-Christian. b) Only an Orthodox priest casts demons out of a possessed person. With heterodox and non-Orthodox clergy, the demon is indifferent. c) Only Christ’s tomb is empty. No other tomb of a religious leader is empty. Christ’s empty tomb is evidence of the Resurrection and of our true faith. d) Only in Orthodoxy do you encounter countless holy relics. Doctors who have examined holy relics—some incorrupt and others fragrant—have been unable to explain them scientifically. e) Only in Orthodoxy will you encounter countless miracles from the Panagia, numerous Saints, and countless miraculous icons. f) Only an Orthodox priest, by reading a special prayer, blesses water and makes it Holy Water. Moreover, Holy Water never spoils, no matter how many centuries pass. g) Only Orthodoxy has millions of martyrs. Holy Fire 2026 HAPPY RESURRECTION TO EVERYONE The little bed of Saint Porphyrios.

1. Ελληνικά (Greek) Τίτλος: Τα Τρομακτικά Λόγια ενός Δαίμονα κατά τη διάρκεια ενός Εξορκισμού Ένας άνθρωπος καταλήφθηκε από δαιμόνιο, και άκουσαν το δαιμόνιο να λέει τα εξής τρομακτικά πράγματα... [Πάνω Αριστερά] «Άνθρωπε, έτσι μιλάμε εμείς οι δαίμονες. Άνθρωπε, κάνεις τόσες αμαρτίες, κι ο Μανώλης σου συνεχίζει να σε συγχωρεί.» Ποιος είναι ο Μανώλης; Ο Εμμανουήλ — ο Χριστός. Αλλά δεν Τον αποκαλεί Εμμανουήλ. Τον λέει "Μανώλη". Προσπαθεί πάντα να Τον υποτιμήσει. «Και ο Μανώλης, συνεχίζει να σε συγχωρεί όλη την ώρα.» «Άκου — αν μου δάνειζες κάποια χρήματα στη δύσκολη ώρα μου, κι αν ήμουν σωστός άνθρωπος, θα σου χρωστούσα ευγνωμοσύνη για μια ζωή. Θα σε ευχαριστούσα πάντα που με βοήθησες στη δύσκολη στιγμή μου.» «Σκέψου το λοιπόν — τι τιμή πρέπει να έχει ένας Θεός απέναντι σε εκείνη που Του δάνεισε σώμα;» «Κάθισε, παιδί μου· είναι μια πολύ ωραία καρέκλα εκεί. Κάθισε.» «Λοιπόν, αυτή που Του δάνεισε το σώμα...» [Πάνω Δεξιά] «Και όταν διαπράττεις κάποια μεγάλη αμαρτία, φέρνεις εκείνη τη μεσίτρια γυναίκα... Φέρνεις εκείνη τη γυναίκα, και ό,τι ζητήσει εκείνη από Εκείνον, Εκείνος της το χαρίζει.» Ο ιερέας ρώτησε το δαιμόνιο γιατί ο Χριστός έκανε ό,τι ζητούσε εκείνη. Ακούστε τι απάντησε το δαιμόνιο μέσα από το στόμα του δαιμονισμένου: «Επειδή Του δάνεισε αυτό που Εκείνος δεν είχε. Επειδή Του δάνεισε σώμα, κι Εκείνος της είναι για πάντα υπόχρεος.» «Ακόμα και τα σώματά σας, όταν τα δημιούργησε ο Μανώλης, τα δημιούργησε... στο σχήμα του ξύλου πάνω στο οποίο τον ύψωσαν οι Ιουδαίοι.» Δεν έλεγε τη λέξη "σταυρός". Δεν μπορούσε να πει "σταυρός". «Άνοιξε τα χέρια σου για μια στιγμή,» είπε. «Άνοιξε τα χέρια σου και δες τι σχήμα παίρνει αμέσως το σώμα σου.» «Ακόμα και τα σώματά σας,» είπε, «τα έφτιαξε στο σχήμα του ξύλου πάνω στο οποίο τον ύψωσαν οι Ιουδαίοι.» «Κι όμως εσείς ακόμα δεν πιστεύετε σε Εκείνον. Η αν πιστεύετε, πιστεύετε μόνο λίγο.» [Κάτω Αριστερά] «Έκανα μια πράξη ανυπακοής στον Ουρανό. Ήμουν άγγελος... και έκανα μια ανυπακοή στον Ουρανό και έπεσα για πάντα στην κόλαση μαζί με όλους τους αγγέλους μου.» «Αλλά εσείς αμαρτάνετε κάθε μέρα... και τη στιγμή που λέτε 'Ημάρτηκα', παρεμβαίνει η άλλη — εννοώντας την Παναγία — και αμέσως σε συγχωρεί και θέλει να σε βάλει μαζί Του αιωνίως.» Δεν έλεγε καν τη λέξη "Παράδεισος". «Για να είσαι μαζί Του, να απολαμβάνεις το Φως Του...» «Κι εγώ βιώνω αυτό το φως, αλλά δεν το απολαμβάνω. Με καίει.» «Ενώ εσείς — κάποιοι από εσάς είστε ήδη άγιοι από τώρα — και όλοι εσείς που θα πάτε μαζί Του για πάντα...» «Ακούτε τι είναι ο Παράδεισος; Η απόλαυση του άκτιστου θείου φωτός.» «Και τι είναι η κόλαση; Το ίδιο φως. Επειδή ο Θεός είναι πανταχού παρών, ακόμα και στην κόλαση το Φως Του κατεβαίνει.» «Αλλά οι κολασμένοι και οι δαίμονες, αντί να βιώνουν αυτό το φως με χαρά... και ως γνώση που τους γεμίζει με κατανόηση... επειδή αυτό το φως είναι γεμάτο πληροφορίες σύμφωνα με τις επιθυμίες του καθενός...» «Ο Θεός να μας φυλάξει να πάμε ποτέ εκεί.» «Γι' αυτούς, το φως γίνεται φωτιά που καίει. Καταδικάζει τη συνείδηση και καίει τη συνείδηση.» «Επειδή κουβαλάμε τη συνείδησή μας μαζί μας. Όποια συνείδηση είχαμε σε αυτή τη ζωή, την κουβαλάμε μαζί μας.» «Και είθε ο Θεός να μας αξιώσει αυτού του φωτός... να είναι ένα ευχάριστο φως, ένα φως γεμάτο γνώση και κατανόηση... ώστε να ολοκληρώσουμε αυτό που ξεκινήσαμε σε αυτή την προσωρινή ζωή.» [Κάτω Δεξιά] Ο ιερέας ρώτησε: «Γιατί μπήκες σε αυτόν τον άνθρωπο;» «Οι γονείς του αμάρτησαν,» απάντησε, «και αργότερα ο ίδιος έγινε απρόσεκτος, κι εγώ μπήκα.» «Επειδή,» είπε, «δεν μου επιτρέπει διαφορετικά. Ξέρεις πόσες φορές Τον παρεκάλεσα;» «Αυτό είναι που ήθελα ιδιαίτερα να σας πω. Δεν το έχω ξαναπεί ποτέ αυτό.» «Ξέρεις πόσες φορές ζήτησα να μπω και ζήτησα σώμα;» «Και δεν μου επιτρέπει να ενωθώ με σώμα... όπως το Πνεύμα Του ενώθηκε μαζί της... και δεν το επιτρέπει για να μην γίνει το κακό αθάνατο. Γι' αυτό δεν το επιτρέπει.» «Πόσο πολύ μας αγαπά ο Χριστός — ώστε να μην γίνει το κακό αθάνατο.» «Και όχι μόνο αυτό,» είπε, «δεν μου επιτρέπει... με αφήνει ανίκανο να γίνω δαιμονάνθρωπος...» «Όπως Εκείνος έγινε Θεάνθρωπος. Ο δαίμονας θέλει να γίνει δαιμονάνθρωπος.» «Αφού δεν μπορώ,» είπε, «Εκείνος μερικές φορές μου επιτρέπει, όταν βλέπω κάποιον απρόσεκτο... να μπω μέσα του. Για να μπω στην εικόνα του Θεού — εννοώντας τον άνθρωπο — και να τον ταράξω και να τον καταλάβω.» «Συγχώρεσέ με που μίλησα τόσο πολύ, αγαπητή μου Άννα... αλλά αυτά πρέπει να ειπωθούν, γιατί βλέπω ότι ο κόσμος μας χρειάζεται κατήχηση — και όχι μόνο αυτό.» [Υποσέλιδο] Ας στραφούμε στον Χριστό. Το έλεός Του είναι μεγαλύτερο από τις αμαρτίες μας. Η μεσιτεία της Θεοτόκου μας σώζει. Το φως του Χριστού είναι ζωή — όχι μόνο στον ουρανό, αλλά και τώρα. 2. Русский (Russian) Заголовок: Ужасающие слова демона во время экзорцизма Человек был одержим, и они услышали, как демон произнес следующие ужасающие вещи... [Верхний левый блок] «Человек, вот как мы, демоны, говорим. Человек, ты совершаешь так много грехов, а твой Манолис продолжает прощать тебя». Кто такой Манолис? Эммануил — Христос. Но он не называет Его Эммануилом. Он зовет Его "Манолис". Он всегда пытается умалить Его. «И Манолис продолжает прощать тебя всё время». «Слушай — если бы ты одолжил мне немного денег в мой трудный час, и если бы я был приличным человеком, я был бы обязан тебе по гроб жизни. Я бы всегда благодарил тебя за помощь в трудную минуту». «Так подумай же — какую честь должен оказывать Бог той, которая одолжила Ему тело?» «Присядь, дитя мое; там очень хорошее кресло. Присядь». «Итак, та, что одолжила Ему тело...» [Верхний правый блок] «И когда ты совершаешь какой-то тяжкий грех, ты призываешь эту женщину-заступницу... Ты призываешь эту женщину, и что бы она ни попросила у Него, Он дарует ей». Священник спросил демона, почему Христос делает то, о чем она просит. Послушайте, что ответил демон устами одержимого: «Потому что она одолжила Ему то, чего у Него не было. Потому что она одолжила Ему тело, и Он навеки перед ней в долгу». «Даже ваши тела, когда Манолис создавал их, Он создал их... в форме древа, на котором иудеи подняли Его». Он не говорил слова "крест". Он не мог сказать "крест". «Раскинь руки на мгновение, — сказал он. — Раскинь руки и посети, какую форму сразу принимает твое тело». «Даже ваши тела, — сказал он, — Он сделал в форме древа, на котором иудеи подняли Его». «И все же вы до сих пор не верите в Него. Или если верите, то верите лишь немного». [Нижний левый блок] «Я совершил один акт неповиновения на Небесах. Я был ангелом... и я совершил одно неповиновение на Небесах и навечно пал в ад со всеми моими ангелами». «Но вы грешите каждый день... и в тот миг, когда вы говорите 'Я согрешил', вмешивается другая — имея в виду Деву Марию — и Он тотчас прощает вас и даже хочет поместить вас навечно с Ним». Он даже не мог произнести слово "Рай". «Чтобы быть с Ним, наслаждаться Его светом...» «И я тоже испытываю этот свет, но не наслаждаюсь им. Он жжет меня». «Тогда как вы — некоторые из вас уже святые отныне — и все вы, кто будет с Ним навеки...» «Слышите ли вы, что такое Рай? Наслаждение несозданным божественным светом». «А что такое ад? Тот же самый свет. Потому что Бог вездесущ, и даже в аду Его свет сходит». «Но проклятые и демоны вместо того, чтобы испытывать этот свет с радостью... и как знание, наполняющее их пониманием... потому что этот свет полон информации в соответствии с желаниям каждого...» «Не дай Бог нам когда-либо попасть туда». «Для них свет становится палящим огнем. Он обличает совесть и жжет совесть». «Потому что мы носим нашу совесть с собой. Какая бы совесть ни была у нас в этой жизни, мы несем ее с собой». «И да сподобит нас Бог этого света... чтобы он был отрадным светом, светом, полным знания и разумения... дабы мы могли завершить то, что начали в этой временной жизни». [Нижний правый блок] Священник спросил: «Почему ты вошел в этого человека?» «Его родители согрешили, — ответил он, — а позже он сам стал беспечным, и я вошел». «Потому что, — сказал он, — Он не позволяет мне иначе. Знаешь ли ты, сколько раз я просил Его?» «Это то, что я особенно хотел вам сказать. Я никогда раньше этого не говорил». «Знаешь ли ты, сколько раз я просил войти и просил тело?» «И Он не позволяет мне соединиться с телом... как Его Дух соединился с ней... и Он не позволяет этого, чтобы зло не стало бессмертным. Вот почему Он не позволяет». «Как сильно Христос любит нас — чтобы зло не стало бессмертным». «И не только это, — сказал он, — Он не позволяет мне... Он оставляет меня неспособным стать демоно-человеком...» «Как Он стал Бого-человеком. Демон хочет стать демоно-человеком». «Поскольку я не могу, — сказал он, — Он иногда позволяет мне, когда я вижу кого-то беспечного... войти в него. Чтобы войти в образ Божий — имея в виду человека — и тревожить его, и овладевать им». «Прости меня за столь долгую речь, моя дорогая Анна... но эти вещи должны быть сказаны, потому что я вижу, что наш мир нуждается в катехизации — и не только в этом». [Подвал] Обратимся к Христу. Его милосердие больше наших грехов. Заступничество Богородицы спасает нас. Свет Христов — это жизнь, не только на небе, но и ныне. 3. العربية (Arabic) العنوان: الكلمات المرعبة لشيطان أثناء طرد الأرواح الشريرة استحوذ شيطان على رجل، وسُمع الشيطان وهو يقول الأمور المرعبة التالية... [أعلى اليسار] "يا إنسان، هكذا نتحدث نحن الشياطين. يا إنسان، إنك ترتكب الكثير من الخطايا، ومانوليس الخاص بك يستمر في مسامحتك." من هو مانوليس؟ إيمانويل — المسيح. لكنه لا يدعوه إيمانويل. بل يناديه "مانوليس". إن يحاول دائماً التقليل من شأنه. "ومانوليس يستمر في مسامحتك طوال الوقت." "اسمع — لو أقرضتني بعض المال فيเวล الشدة، ولو كنتُ رجلاً صالحاً، لصرتُ مديناً لك مدى الحياة. ولكنتُ أشكرك دائماً على مساعدتي في لحظتي الصعبة." "ففكر في الأمر — أي إكرام يجب أن يكنّه الإله لتلك التي أقرضته جسداً؟" "اجلس يا بني؛ هناك كرسي جميل جداً هناك. اجلس." "إذن، تلك التي أقرضته الجسد..." [أعلى اليمين] "وعندما ترتكب خطيئة كبيرة، تأتي بتلك المرأة الوسيطة... تأتي بتلك المرأة، وأي شيء تطلبه منه، يمنحها إياه." سأل الكاهن الشيطان لماذا يفعل المسيح ما تطلبه. اسمع ما أجاب به الشيطان من خلال فم الرجل المستحوذ عليه: "لأنها أقرضته ما لم يكن لديه. لأنها أقرضته جسداً، وهو مدين لها إلى الأبد." "حتى أجسادكم، عندما خلقها مانوليس، خلقها... على شكل الخشب الذي رفعه عليه اليهود." لم يقل كلمة "صليب". لم يستطع أن يقول "صليب". "افتح ذراعيك لبرهة،" قال. "افتح ذراعيك وانظر ما هو الشكل الذي يتخذه جسدك فوراً." "حتى أجسادكم،" قال، "صنعها على شكل الخشب الذي رفعه عليه اليهود." "ومع ذلك، فإنكم لا تزالون لا تؤمنون به. أو إذا آمنتم، فإنكم تؤمنون بقليل فقط." [أسفل اليسار] "لقد ارتكبت عملاً واحداً من العصيان في السماء. كنت ملاكاً... وارتكبت عصياناً واحداً في السماء وسقطت إلى الأبد في الجحيم مع جميع ملائكتي." "لكنكم تذنبون كل يوم... وفي اللحظة التي تقولون فيها 'لقد أذنبت'، تتدخل الأخرى — يقصد العذراء مريم — وفوراً يغفر لكم بل ويرید أن يضعكم معه إلى الأبد." لم يكن يستطيع حتى نطق كلمة "الفردوس". "لتكونوا معه، ولتستمتعوا بنوره..." "وأنا أيضاً أختبر ذلك النور، لكنني لا أستمتع به. إنه يحرقني." "بينما أنتم — بعضكم قديسون من الآن — وكل منكم سيذهب معه إلى الأبد..." "هل تسمعون ما هو الفردوس؟ إنه التمتع بالنور الإلهي غير المخلوق." "وما هو الجحيم؟ النور نفسه. لأن الله حاضر في كل مكان، وحتى في الجحيم ينزل نوره." "لكن الهالكين والشياطين، بدلاً من تجربة ذلك النور بفرح... وكذوق يملأهم بالفهم... لأن ذلك النور مليء بالمعلومات وفقاً لرغبات كل واحد..." "لا سمح الله أن نذهب إلى هناك أبداً." "بالنسبة لهم، يصبح النور ناراً حارقة. إنه يدين الضمير ويحرق الضمير." "لأننا نحمل ضميرنا معنا. أي ضمير كان لدينا في هذه الحياة، نحمله معنا." "وجعلنا الله مستحقين لذلك النور... ليكون نورا مبهجاً، نوراً مليئاً بالمعرفة والفهم... حتى نتمكن من إكمال ما بدأناه في هذه الحياة المؤقتة." [أسفل اليمين] سأل الكاهن: "لماذا دخلت في هذا الرجل؟" "أذنب والداه،" أجاب، "ولاحقاً أصبح هو نفسه مهتملاً، فدخلت." "لأنه،" قال، "لا يسمح لي بغير ذلك. هل تعلم كم مرة طلبته؟" "هذا ما أردت بشكل خاص أن أقوله لكم. لم أذكر هذا من قبل." "هل تعلم كم مرة طلبت الدخول وطلبت جسداً؟" "وهو لا يسمح لي بالاتحاد بجسد... كما اتحد روحه بها... ولا يسمح بذلك لئلا يصبح الشر خالداً. لهذا السبب لا يسمح." "كم يحبنا المسيح — حتى لا يصبح الشر خالداً." "وليس هذا فقط،" قال، "لا يسمح لي... يتركني غير قادر على أن أكون إنساناً-شيطانياً..." "كما أصبح هو الإله-الإنسان. الشيطان يريد أن يصبح إنساناً-شيطانياً." "وبما أنني لا أستطيع،" قال، "فإنه أحياناً يسمح لي، عندما أرى شخصاً مهتملاً... أن أدخل فيه. لأدخل في صورة الله — يقصد الإنسان — وأزعجه وأستولي عليه." "سامحيني للحديث الطويل يا عزيزتي آنا... ولكن هذه الأمور يجب أن تُقال، لأنني أرى أن عالمنا بحاجة إلى التعليم الديني — وليس هذا فقط." [الخلفية / التذييل] فلنرجع إلى المسيح. رحمته أعظم من خطايانا. شفاعة والدة الإله تخلصنا. نور المسيح هو حياة — ليس في السماء فحسب، بل الآن أيضاً. 4. Español (Spanish - Επιλεγμένη Γλώσσα) Título: Las Aterradoras Palabras de un Demonio Durante un Exorcismo Un hombre fue poseído, y escucharon al demonio decir las siguientes cosas aterradoras... [Superior Izquierdo] «Hombre, así es como hablamos los demonios. Hombre, cometes tantos pecados, y tu Manolis te sigue perdonando». ¿Quién es Manolis? Emmanuel — Cristo. Pero no lo llama Emmanuel. Lo llama "Manolis". Siempre intenta disminuirlo. «Y Manolis, te sigue perdonando todo el tiempo». «Escucha — si me prestaras algo de dinero en mi momento difícil, y si yo fuera un hombre correcto, te estaría agradecido de por vida. Siempre te agradecería por ayudarme en mi momento difícil». «Así que piénsalo — ¿qué honor debe tener un Dios hacia aquella que le prestó un cuerpo?» «Siéntate, hijo mío; hay una silla muy bonita allí. Siéntate». «Entonces, la que le prestó el cuerpo...» [Superior Derecho] «Y cuando cometes algún gran pecado, traes a esa mujer mediadora... Traes a esa mujer, y lo que sea que ella le pida a Él, Él se lo concede». El sacerdote le preguntó al demonio por qué Cristo hacía lo que ella pedía. Escuchen lo que respondió el demonio a través de la boca del hombre poseído: «Porque ella le prestó lo que Él no tenía. Porque ella le prestó un cuerpo, y Él le está eternamente adeudado». «Incluso sus cuerpos, cuando Manolis los creó, los creó... con la forma de la madera sobre la cual los judíos lo levantaron». No decía la palabra "cruz". No podía decir "cruz". «Abre tus brazos por un momento», dijo. «Abre tus brazos y mira qué forma toma tu cuerpo inmediatamente». «Incluso sus cuerpos», dijo, «los hizo con la forma de la madera sobre la cual los judíos lo levantaron». «Y sin embargo, todavía no creen en Él. O si creen, creen solo un poco». [Inferior Izquierdo] «Cometí un acto de desobediencia en el Cielo. Era un ángel... y cometí una desobediencia en el Cielo y caí para siempre al infierno junto con todos mis ángeles». «Pero ustedes pecan todos los días... y en el momento en que dicen 'He pecado', la otra interviene — refiriéndose a la Virgen María — e inmediatamente Él los perdona e incluso quiere ponerlos eternamente con Él». Ni siquiera podía decir la palabra "Paraíso". «Para estar con Él, para disfrutar de Su luz...» «Y yo también experimento esa luz, pero no la disfruto. Me quema». «Mientras que ustedes — algunos de ustedes ya son santos desde ahora — y todos los que irán con Él para siempre...» «¿Escuchan lo que es el Paraíso? El disfrute de la luz divina no creada». «¿Y qué es el infierno? La misma luz. Porque Dios está en todas partes, e incluso en el infierno Su luz desciende». «Pero los condenados y los demonios, en lugar de experimentar esa luz con alegría... y como un conocimiento que los llena de entendimiento... porque esa luz está llena de información según los deseos de cada uno...» «Dios nos libre de ir jamás allí». «Para ellos, la luz se convierte en un fuego ardiente. Condena la conciencia y quema la conciencia». «Porque llevamos nuestra conciencia con nosotros. Cualquiera que haya sido la conciencia que tuvimos en esta vida, la llevamos con nosotros». «Y que Dios nos haga dignos de esa luz... para que sea una luz deleitable, una luz llena de conocimiento y entendimiento... para que podamos completar lo que comenzamos en esta vida temporal». [Inferior Derecho] El sacerdote preguntó: «¿Por qué entraste en este hombre?» «Sus padres pecaron», respondió, «y más tarde él mismo se volvió descuidado, y yo entré». «Porque», dijo, «Él no me lo permite de otra manera. ¿Sabes cuántas veces se lo pedí?» «Esto es lo que especialmente quería decirles. Nunca antes he dicho esto». «¿Sabes cuántas veces pedí entrar y pedí un cuerpo?» «Y Él no me permite unirme a un cuerpo... como Su Espíritu se unió a ella... y no lo permite para que el mal no se vuelva inmortal. Por eso no lo permite». «Cuánto nos ama Cristo — para que el mal no se vuelva inmortal». «Y no solo eso», dijo, «no me permite... me deja incapaz de convertirme en un hombre-demonio...» «Así como Él se convirtió en el Dios-Hombre. El demonio quiere convertirse en un hombre-demonio». «Como no puedo», dijo, «Él a veces me permite, cuando veo a alguien descuidado... entrar en él. Para entrar en la imagen de Dios — refiriéndose al hombre — y perturbarlo y apoderarme de él». «Perdóname por hablar tan extenso, mi querida Anna... pero estas cosas deben decirse, porque veo que nuestro mundo necesita catequesis — y no solo eso». [Pie de página] Volvámonos hacia Cristo. Su misericordia es mayor que nuestros pecados. La intercesión de la Theotokos nos salva. La luz de Cristo es vida — no solo en el cielo, sino ahora.

Η ερώτησή σας θέτει έναν πολύ ουσιαστικό προβληματισμό γύρω από τη σύγχρονη βιομηχανία της ψυχαγωγίας και το περιεχόμενο που καταναλώνει το ευρύ κοινό. Αν αναλογιστούμε τι προωθείται και τι πλασάρεται μέσα από τα μεγάλα θεάματα και τα μέσα κοινωνικής δικτύωσης σήμερα, ξεχωρίζουν ορισμένα βασικά στοιχεία: * Η Εικόνα ως Υποκατάστατο της Πραγματικότητας: Όπως αποτυπώνεται και στο γράφημα, η γιγαντοθόνη και το ψηφιακό είδωλο (AI) συχνά αντικαθιστούν τη φυσική παρουσία. Προωθείται η λατρεία της εικόνας, όπου το θεαματικό υπερισχύει του ουσιαστικού. * Ο Συγχρονισμός και η Μαζοποίηση: Μέσα από τεχνολογικά μέσα (όπως τα συντονισμένα βραχιολάκια LED ή τα μαζικά trends), καλλιεργείται η αίσθηση του συλλογικού βιώματος. Αυτό από τη μία προσφέρει ψυχαγωγία, αλλά από την άλλη μπορεί να οδηγήσει στην απώλεια της ατομικότητας και στον πλήρη έλεγχο της προσοχής του πλήθους. * Η Χρήση του Σκοτεινού και του Δραματικού Συμβολισμού: Η σύγχρονη ποπ κουλτούρα δανείζεται συχνά σκοτεινή αισθητική, μυστικιστικά σύμβολα και εσχατολογικά μοτίβα (αίμα, πτώση, θυσία). Αυτό γίνεται είτε για λόγους εντυπωσιασμού και εμπορικού σοκ (shock value), είτε επειδή αυτά τα θέματα προκαλούν έντονη συναισθηματική αντίδραση και κρατούν το ενδιαφέρον του κοινού καθηλωμένο. * Η Εμπορευματοποίηση του Συναισθήματος: Αυτό που τελικά «πωλείται» δεν είναι απλώς μια συναυλία ή ένα τραγούδι, αλλά μια εμπειρία ταύτισης. Ο θεατής καλείται να γίνει μέρος ενός "τελετουργικού" θεάματος, όπου η τεχνολογία και η μουσική λειτουργούν ως μέσο καθοδήγησης της προσοχής. Το αν πίσω από αυτά κρύβεται ένα οργανωμένο σχέδιο ή απλώς η αδίστακτη λογική του μάρκετινγκ και της εμπορευματοποίησης της τέχνης, είναι το σημείο όπου οι απόψεις διίστανται — με άλλους να βλέπουν απλή ψυχαγωγία και άλλους να διακρίνουν βαθύτερους μηχανισμούς κοινωνικού ελέγχου.

1. ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΑ ΕΙΣΑΙ ΔΙΚΟΣ ΜΑΣ ΤΩΡΑ... Αντί για μια απάντηση στην αμφιβολία και την ερώτησή μου, βρέθηκα ξανά στην κόλαση και στον Άδη. Οι δαίμονες έτρεχαν κρατώντας λίστες, δείχνοντας τα αμαρτήματά μου και φωνάζοντας: «Μας υπηρέτησες όταν ήσουν στη γη. Είσαι δικός μας τώρα!...» Άρχισα να διαβάζω τα αμαρτήματά μου και όλες τις πράξεις μου, που ήταν γραμμένες με μεγάλα γράμματα, ανάμεσα σε μεγάλο φόβο. Είδα φωτιά να βγαίνει από το στόμα τους καθώς με χτυπούσαν στο κεφάλι. Σπίθες αναμμένης φωτιάς έπεφταν πάνω μου και κολλάνε, καίγοντάς με. Γύρω μου άκουγα ένα φοβερό μοιρολόι, έναν μεγάλο κεραυνό και τις κραυγές πολλών ανθρώπων. Όταν η φωτιά δυνάμωσε, είδα τα πάντα γύρω μου. Οι ψυχές είχαν τρομακτική όψη. Μερικές ήταν ακρωτηριασμένες με τεντωμένους λαιμούς, και άλλες με πρησμένα μάτια. Μου είπαν: «Είσαι σύντροφός μας, (εννοώντας, προφανώς, τον κομμουνιστικό χαιρετισμό), και είσαι υποχρεωμένος να ζήσεις μαζί μας τώρα...» Όπως κι εσείς, έτσι κι εμείς, όταν ζούσαμε στη γη, δεν αναγνωρίσαμε τον Χριστό, βλασφημήσαμε και καταραστήκαμε, κάναμε κάθε είδος κακού, και ειδικά πορνεία, υπερηφάνεια, και δεν μετανοήσαμε ποτέ. Πολλοί αμάρτησαν, αλλά μετά μετανόησαν και πήγαν στην Εκκλησία, προσευχήθηκαν στον Θεό, έδειξαν έλεος στους φτωχούς και βοήθησαν κάθε άνθρωπο που είχε ανάγκη. Όλοι αυτοί είναι τώρα εκεί πάνω, μακριά από εμάς... (εννοώντας, φυσικά, τον Παράδεισο, τον οποίο δεν ήθελαν να αναφέρουν ούτε ονομαστικά...) Φοβήθηκα όταν άκουσα αυτά τα λόγια, και ειδικά ότι θα ζούσα σε αυτά τα τρομερά μέρη για πάντα... Μετά από αυτά, μέσα σε ένα φως που έδιωξε το σκότος, η Θεοτόκος εμφανίστηκε ξανά. Οι δαίμονες έφυγαν, ενώ οι βασανισμένες ψυχές άρχισαν να παρακαλούν με δυνατές κραυγές για έλεος: «Ουράνια Βασίλισσα, μη μας εγκαταλείπεις, Μητέρα του Θεού, σε παρακαλούμε, καιγόμαστε και δεν υπάρχει ούτε σταγόνα νερό για να ξεδιψάσουμε...» Έκλαψε με συμπόνια μαζί τους, αλλά, μην έχοντας τη δύναμη της λύτρωσης, τους είπε: «Όσο ζούσατε στη γη, δεν Με αναγνωρίσατε, μάλιστα Με βλασφημήσατε. Δεν μετανοήσατε για τις αμαρτίες σας απέναντι στον Υιό Μου και τον Θεό σας, και γι' αυτό δεν μπορώ να σας βοηθήσω τώρα. Αλλά ούτε ο Χριστός μπορεί, γιατί δεν μπορεί να πάει ενάντια στο θέλημα του Πατρός Του!» Εγώ βοηθώ μόνο εκείνους για τους οποίους προσεύχονται οι συγγενείς τους και για τους οποίους προσεύχεται η αγία Εκκλησία. Μετά από αυτά τα λόγια, αρχίσαμε να ανεβαίνουμε, ενώ από κάτω οι φωνές των κολασμένων γίνονταν δυνατότερες: «Μητέρα του Θεού, μη μας αφήνεις...» 2. ENGLISH YOU ARE OURS NOW... But instead of an answer to my doubt and question, I found myself again in hell and in Hades. The demons came running with lists, showing my sins and shouting: “You served us when you were on earth. You are ours now!...” I began to read my sins and all my deeds, which were written in large letters, amid great fear. I saw fire coming out of their mouths as they struck me on the head, Sparks of burning fire fell on me and stuck to me, burning me. Around me I heard a terrible wail, a great thunder, and the cries of many people. When the fire grew stronger, I saw everything around me. The souls had a dreadful appearance. Some were maimed with stretched necks, and others with swollen eyes. They said to me: “You are a comrade of ours, (meaning, apparently, the communist salute), and you are obliged to live with us now...” Just as you, so we, when we lived on earth, did not recognize Christ, we blasphemed and cursed, we did every kind of evil, and especially fornication, pride, and we never repented. Many sinned, but afterwards repented and went to Church, prayed to God, showed mercy to the poor, and helped every person in need. All of them are now up there, far from us... (meaning, of course, the Paradise, which they did not want to mention even by name...) I was afraid when I heard these words, and especially that I would live in these dreadful places for all eternity... After these, within a light that drove away the darkness, the Mother of God appeared again. The demons fled, while the tormented souls began to plead with loud cries for mercy: “Heavenly Queen, do not abandon us, Mother of God, we beg you, we are burning and there is not a drop of water to quench our thirst...” She wept compassionately with them, but, not having the power of redemption, she said to them: “While you lived on earth, you did not recognize Me, indeed you even blasphemed Me. You did not repent for your sins against My Son and your God, and that is why I cannot help you now. But neither can Christ, for He cannot go against the will of His Father!” I help only those for whom their relatives pray, and for whom the holy Church prays. After these words, we began to rise, while from below the voices of the damned grew stronger: “Mother of God, do not leave us...” 3. РУССКИЙ ТЕПЕРЬ ТЫ НАШ... Но вместо ответа на мои сомнения и вопросы, я снова оказался в аду и в преисподней. Демоны прибежали со списками, показывая мои грехи и крича: «Ты служил нам, когда был на земле. Теперь ты наш!...» Я начал читать свои грехи и все свои дела, которые были написаны крупными буквами, в великом страхе. Я видел огонь, выходящий из их ртов, когда они били меня по голове, искры горящего огня падали на меня и жгли. Вокруг себя я слышал ужасный вопль, сильный гром и крики множества людей. Когда огонь усилился, я увидел все вокруг. Души имели ужасный вид. Некоторые были увечными с вытянутыми шеями, другие с опухшими глазами. Они сказали мне: «Ты наш товарищ (имея в виду, судя по всему, коммунистическое приветствие), и ты обязан жить с нами теперь...» Как и ты, так и мы, когда жили на земле, не признавали Христа, богохульствовали, делали всякое зло, особенно блуд и гордыню, и никогда не каялись. Многие грешили, но потом покаялись, ходили в церковь, молились Богу, миловали бедных и помогали каждому нуждающемуся. Все они теперь там, наверху, далеко от нас... (имея в виду, конечно, Рай, который они не хотели даже называть по имени...) Я испугался, услышав эти слова, и особенно того, что буду жить в этих ужасных местах целую вечность... После этого, в свете, прогнавшем тьму, снова явилась Богородица. Демоны бежали, а мучимые души стали громко молить о милосердии: «Царица Небесная, не оставляй нас, Богородица, молим Тебя, мы горим и нет ни капли воды, чтобы утолить нашу жажду...» Она сострадательно плакала с ними, но, не имея власти искупления, сказала им: «Когда вы жили на земле, вы не признавали Меня, вы даже богохульствовали. Вы не покаялись в грехах против Моего Сына и вашего Бога, и поэтому Я не могу помочь вам сейчас. Но и Христос не может, ибо Он не может пойти против воли Своего Отца!» Я помогаю только тем, за кого молятся их родственники и святая Церковь. После этих слов мы начали подниматься, а снизу голоса проклятых становились все сильнее: «Богородица, не оставляй нас...» 4. ESPAÑOL AHORA ERES NUESTRO... Pero en lugar de una respuesta a mi duda y pregunta, me encontré de nuevo en el infierno y en el Hades. Los demonios vinieron corriendo con listas, mostrando mis pecados y gritando: “Nos serviste cuando estabas en la tierra. ¡Ahora eres nuestro!...” Comencé a leer mis pecados y todas mis acciones, que estaban escritas con letras grandes, con gran temor. Vi fuego saliendo de sus bocas mientras me golpeaban en la cabeza, chispas de fuego cayeron sobre mí y se me pegaron, quemándome. A mi alrededor escuché un lamento terrible, un gran trueno y los gritos de muchas personas. Cuando el fuego se hizo más fuerte, vi todo a mi alrededor. Las almas tenían un aspecto espantoso. Algunas estaban mutiladas con cuellos estirados, y otras con ojos hinchados. Me dijeron: “Eres un camarada nuestro (refiriéndose, al parecer, al saludo comunista), y estás obligado a vivir con nosotros ahora...” Al igual que tú, nosotros, cuando vivíamos en la tierra, no reconocimos a Cristo, blasfemamos y maldijimos, hicimos todo tipo de maldad, especialmente fornicación, orgullo, y nunca nos arrepentimos. Muchos pecaron, pero luego se arrepintieron y fueron a la Iglesia, oraron a Dios, mostraron misericordia a los pobres y ayudaron a todos los necesitados. Todos ellos están ahora allá arriba, lejos de nosotros... (refiriéndose, por supuesto, al Paraíso, que ni siquiera querían mencionar por su nombre...) Tenía miedo cuando escuché estas palabras, especialmente de vivir en estos lugares espantosos por toda la eternidad... Después de esto, dentro de una luz que expulsó la oscuridad, la Madre de Dios apareció de nuevo. Los demonios huyeron, mientras las almas atormentadas comenzaron a suplicar con fuertes gritos por misericordia: “Reina del Cielo, no nos abandones, Madre de Dios, te rogamos, estamos ardiendo y no hay ni una gota de agua para calmar nuestra sed...” Lloró compasivamente con ellos, pero, no teniendo el poder de redención, les dijo: “Mientras vivían en la tierra, no me reconocieron, incluso me blasfemaron. No se arrepintieron de sus pecados contra mi Hijo y su Dios, y es por eso que no puedo ayudarlos ahora. ¡Pero tampoco puede Cristo, porque no puede ir en contra de la voluntad de su Padre!” Solo ayudo a aquellos por quienes sus parientes oran, y por quienes la santa Iglesia ora. Después de estas palabras, comenzamos a subir, mientras que desde abajo las voces de los condenados se hacían más fuertes: “Madre de Dios, no nos dejes...”

What About Our Imagination? What about our imagination? I have noticed that we often treat certain images and visions as though they were photographs — as if what a person sees must necessarily correspond exactly to an objective reality. But is that really the case? If we look at how human beings’ ability to imagine, depict, and visually represent things has changed throughout history, we should ask an important question: How do we know that what we see today is exactly what people in the past saw? And how do we know that we are not sometimes interpreting an image through things that have already been deeply imprinted on our minds — through the media, movies, books, paintings, religious imagery, science-fiction stories, and popular culture? A person may see something mysterious and genuinely believe that the experience was real. But the interpretation of that experience may still be influenced by everything that person has previously seen and learned. This is especially important when discussing alleged encounters with extraterrestrial beings. One striking observation is that these supposed beings never confirm the divinity of Christ, nor do they claim to come in His name. Instead, the stories attributed to them often change according to the knowledge and expectations of the people encountering them. Consider the claims made about where these beings supposedly come from. In earlier periods, when human knowledge of the planets and the universe was far more limited, alleged entities could supposedly claim to come from planets within our own solar system. But as astronomy advanced and humanity learned more about those worlds, many of those explanations became impossible or implausible. The stories then evolved: the beings were said to come from distant solar systems, other galaxies, or places such as Andromeda. This raises a serious question: Are we actually receiving information from an external intelligence — or are we sometimes interpreting unexplained experiences through whatever ideas are already available in our minds? From an Orthodox Christian perspective, there is another question that should not be ignored: What is the spiritual source of the experience, and where does it ultimately lead the person? Not every extraordinary vision should automatically be accepted as divine revelation. Christianity has always warned about spiritual deception and about trusting every supernatural-looking experience without discernment. The appearance of something mysterious is not, by itself, proof of its origin. We should therefore remain cautious, examine the evidence, and — above all — remember that not everything that appears supernatural is necessarily from God.

Here is the English translation of the text in the image: "I saw what goes on in Hades... No one should go there, not even for a second... I saw fellow villagers of mine... I didn't reveal to anyone who I saw... Afterwards, I lit candles, I said prayers. The poor souls started jumping for joy. The heretics are there. The sorcerers, the witches! If only they knew what awaits them! It would have been better if they had never been born... The impious clergy... Oh, those wretches... The blasphemers, the criminals, those defiled in body, the dishonorable (adulterers), fornicators, and above all, the homosexuals! Unbearable torments! Now married people do these things too... Horror! Horror!" — Eldress Galaktia

And a great day will come, when the earth will shake to its foundations. Athens will shake like a reed in the wind; houses will fall, roads will tear like cloth, and the voice of the state will fall silent behind ruins and panic. And while people will be looking for water, medicine, and hope, smoke will rise from the East. With the thought that "now is the time", they will come — not with swords, but with lies and maps. And the waters of the Aegean will no longer be calm. Yet from the ashes, they say, the voice of the people will rise again; and just where it seemed that everything was over, something that no one expected will begin

🇬🇷 ΤΟ ΑΓΙΟ ΦΩΣ — Η ΑΛΗΘΕΙΑ ΤΗΣ ΟΡΘΟΔΟΞΙΑΣ Κάθε Μεγάλο Σάββατο, στα Ιεροσόλυμα, εκατομμύρια άνθρωποι στρέφουν το βλέμμα τους προς τον Πανάγιο Τάφο, περιμένοντας το Άγιο Φως. Για την Ορθόδοξη Εκκλησία, το Άγιο Φως δεν είναι απλώς ένα σύμβολο. Είναι ένα βαθύ μυστήριο της πίστεως και ένα συγκλονιστικό σημείο που συνδέεται με την Ανάσταση του Χριστού και το άκτιστο Φως του Θεού. Η Ορθοδοξία δεν είναι απλώς μία ακόμη θρησκευτική παράδοση ανάμεσα σε πολλές. Για τον Ορθόδοξο Χριστιανό είναι η πίστη που παρέλαβε από τους Αποστόλους την αλήθεια του Χριστού και τη διατήρησε μέσα στους αιώνες. «Εγώ ειμί η οδός και η αλήθεια και η ζωή» — Ιωάννης 14:6. Ο Χριστός είναι η Αλήθεια. Και η Ορθόδοξη Εκκλησία μαρτυρεί αυτή την Αλήθεια μέσα από το Ευαγγέλιο, τα Μυστήρια, την Αγία Παράδοση και τη ζωή των Αγίων. Το Άγιο Φως μας θυμίζει κάθε χρόνο ότι το σκοτάδι δεν έχει τον τελευταίο λόγο. Το Φως του Χριστού λάμπει μέσα στο σκοτάδι — και το σκοτάδι δεν μπορεί να το νικήσει. Χριστός Ανέστη! Αληθώς Ανέστη! ⸻ 🇬🇧 THE HOLY LIGHT — THE TRUTH OF ORTHODOXY Every Holy Saturday in Jerusalem, millions of people turn their eyes toward the Holy Sepulchre, awaiting the Holy Light. For the Orthodox Church, the Holy Light is not merely a symbol. It is a profound mystery of faith and a powerful sign associated with the Resurrection of Christ and the uncreated Light of God. Orthodoxy is not simply one religious tradition among many. For an Orthodox Christian, it is the faith that received the truth of Christ from the Apostles and preserved it throughout the centuries. “I am the way, and the truth, and the life” — John 14:6. Christ is the Truth. And the Orthodox Church bears witness to this Truth through the Gospel, the Holy Mysteries, Holy Tradition, and the lives of the Saints. The Holy Light reminds us every year that darkness does not have the final word. The Light of Christ shines in the darkness — and the darkness cannot overcome it. Christ is Risen! Truly He is Risen!

"Look. As it has been said, the sin of the world, especially of the rulers, at this level gives and grants rights to the earth. Did you hear that? The earth gains rights. It is a living organism. We come from dust (soil). I don't know how many trillions, millions of cells are synchronized inside our body, in every human body. So, we are a living organism, just as soil is a living organism. When—as we have seen many times—sin pollutes the earth, and what is sin? The violation of God's law. It suffers. Volcanoes begin to erupt. Earthquakes occur. So, I am telling you right now that the earth has received rights from above, from the Holy Spirit, from the Paraclete. And these rights that it has taken will appear at some point. How will they appear? With a major earthquake, a volcanic eruption, the facts will change. Imagine an earthquake happening at the San Andreas Fault and being an 8 or 9 Richter. The facts change, and the sea reaches 200 meters from Elder Ephraim's monastery in Arizona. Do the facts change in America? Of course they change. Everything will change because California will sink. California right now is the backbone of the current economy in America. The state of California practically holds almost all the other states. If it sinks, America sinks with it. Then we also have the supervolcano. Let's not forget, we have the huge volcano in America which, if it erupts, all of North America will disappear. So, we must take into account and understand that sooner or later, the earth will react. It took its rights from the Paraclete. Now everything is open—whether for the big earthquake, or if it happens here. However, here you should know the following: Greece will not suffer many things. It will be injured... It will be injured because Greece does not differ in sin from other countries; it is the same or even worse. However, the intercessions and prayers of our Saints right now are protecting it. And the Virgin Mary will protect it—she has cast her veil over it—because she believes in the Greeks. And she believes in the Greeks not for wealth. We will not go to the City—we also write this in the newspaper that comes out on Saturday—we will not go to the Queen City (Constantinople) which we are close to. We are on our way towards the Queen City, the city of our dreams, Constantinople, our main capital..."

μαγεία σατανισμος

We welcome Father Damaskinos from Cyprus. He is a monk and a missionary in Africa. Father, we welcome you, and we would like to hear some of your experiences from Africa. Thank you. First of all, I would like to thank God for giving me the opportunity to be here in Cyprus, the land of holy people. As far as magic is concerned, the situation among the people there is catastrophic. There is no love between people. One time, I asked someone who was carrying a small wooden figure: “Why do you have this with you?” He answered me: “With this, I protect myself and my family from the magic of other people.” He placed all his faith in this small wooden figure. When we baptize people there, we explain to them that they must remove these magical objects from themselves. One person was not convinced to take it off. No matter how much we tried to put him in the water to baptize him, he was unable to enter. An invisible demonic force was pushing him away. Eventually, he was baptized, but he had not truly accepted the faith. When he was in church to receive Holy Communion, he fell down and had convulsions, like an epileptic seizure. We explained to him the reasons why this happened, but he did not want to listen, and he died without confessing the truth. One day, I was with a priest there, and we saw a naked girl. The priest said to me: “This girl is a magician. She came from another village far away.” I asked: “How did she come here from such a distance?” The priest answered: “You do not know. She came flying through the air.” According to what was believed there, in order to succeed in magic, she had taken a small child, torn out the heart, and drunk the blood. In this way, they believed that demons held magicians in the air and allowed them to fly. Another time, Father James was in Africa and asked a magician: “How do you harm people?” The magician said: “Look, I touch them and I cause them problems.” Father James replied: “Do the same to me.” The magician answered: “I cannot touch you. You, the Orthodox priest, are full of fire.” Another time, a man believed to be possessed by a demon went to a Catholic priest to ask him to cast the demon out of him. According to the story, the demon inside the man said to the Catholic priest: “You are a Capuchin. Do you think I can hear you?” The speaker then says that, according to his belief, Catholics do not have divine grace. Now I will tell you another story. Three former magicians went and were baptized without confessing their sins first. According to the story, the demons said to them: “We do not care what you have done, but do not mention it to Father Meletios.” Before being baptized, these three men had killed a woman and her two children. Someone witnessed this, found others, and they went to kill this former magician. The former magician then made a deal with the demons, saying: “If someone kills me, I want you to reveal to my family who my killers are.” They took him to bury him. According to the story, an invisible force did not allow the coffin to be buried. The coffin pulled the men who were carrying it in another direction, leading them to the house of the people who had killed the former magician, in order to reveal who the murderers were. At the funeral, everyone was frightened. They did not know what to do. The dead man appeared to begin breathing inside the coffin, and his son started speaking to him, believing that his father was alive, although he was not. After the murderers were revealed and everyone became afraid, his son came to me asking for help. I brought another priest with me to bury him. Everyone who was there was very frightened. After they saw what we did, how we prayed according to the Orthodox tradition, and how we prayed for the repose of the man’s soul and buried him, they believed that we had greater spiritual power than

Abdul Hamid gave the order for the tomb of Mehmed the Conqueror, which was located next to the mosque, to be opened in order to check for any damage and make repairs. The tomb was opened, and at a depth of three meters, an iron trapdoor was found. From there, a stone staircase led down into the underground chamber of a Byzantine church. There, to their astonishment, the workers found a marble tomb containing the embalmed body of Mehmed—identical to the portrait painted by the Italian artist a few months before his death. This fact—that Mehmed was buried within the ruins of a Byzantine church—has been considered by many as strong evidence that he wished to be buried as a Christian and Byzantine emperor, among the other Byzantine rulers. It is known that Mehmed often claimed to be the successor of the Byzantine emperors. Sultan Abdul Hamid II, who, for political reasons at the time, had abandoned a certain Islamic sect he had followed and had adopted Sunni Islam, was seized with panic and ordered the tomb to be immediately sealed. These events took place before 1908, and since then, the tomb has never been opened again. For this reason, it is difficult today to verify the testimony. However, on December 19, 1996, a Turkish weekly publication associated with the well-known newspaper Sabah was released with the striking headline: “The Conqueror was a Christian.” The subtitle read: “Historians have not been able to solve this mystery to this day.” Many centuries after the death of the great Fatih—Mehmed the Conqueror, as he is historically known—it is also known that he had a Christian mother, most likely of Greek origin. The fact that in modern Turkey—where Islamic identity is strongly re-emerging—such reports are published is seen by some as evidence of doubt about Mehmed’s true religious identity, even within the official Turkish establishment. This becomes even more significant when we consider that Fatih Mehmed is one of the greatest taboos of Turkish history, nationalism, and identity. A leader like him was expected to embody not only national pride but also religious identity. And yet, inside his tomb, it is claimed, lies one of the greatest secrets of the Ottoman Empire. There were testimonies stating that next to the tomb there was a cross and an icon of the Virgin Mary. According to these claims, Mehmed the Conqueror may have embraced Christianity at the end of his life—something carefully concealed by official Turkish historiography. From his early childhood, he had contact with Christianity through his Christian mother. It is one of the great historical mysteries how a relatively small number of Seljuk Turks and Ottomans who arrived in Asia Minor between the 9th and 10th centuries managed, within a few centuries, to change the entire ethnic and religious character of a region inhabited by millions—many say up to 20 million—Greek-speaking Orthodox Christians. There are many explanations. Some say it was forced Islamization through violence, while others say it occurred for practical and economic reasons. However, because this process of religious conversion was often incomplete and superficial, a unique characteristic remained within Turkish Islam—one that some consider a heterodox element. Today, this is being increasingly discussed by Turkish journalists and researchers under the term “the religious problem of modern Turkey.” On November 10, 2002, a Turkish newspaper reported that the feast of Saint Nektarios was celebrated inside a Muslim mosque—formerly a Christian church—in Eastern Thrace. Many Turkish Muslims stayed after their prayers to observe the Christian service with great reverence. Similarly, there are reports of Turkish Muslims attending Christian ceremonies, lighting candles, kissing priests’ hands, and seeking blessings from the Virgin Mary. In some cases, even Muslims from other countries, such as Iran and Iraq, visit Orthodox churches in Istanbul, seeking hope, healing, and help for their personal struggles. Some Turkish women have even been reported diving into the water during the Epiphany ceremony to catch the cross—an act deeply rooted in Orthodox Christian tradition. Other reports mention Muslims visiting churches regularly, praying, lighting candles, and asking for miracles. Turkish newspapers have even described certain churches as “places of hope” for Muslims. In recent years, there has also been an increase in conversions to Christianity in Turkey, often among people who later discover they have Christian ancestry. Investigations revealed that many of these individuals had ancestors who were Islamized, especially after the Asia Minor catastrophe, and later rediscovered their Christian roots. There are also remarkable accounts of healing sites, such as sacred springs associated with early Christianity, where both Turks and foreigners visit for healing. In some places, visitors light candles, burn incense, and perform acts that are officially forbidden in Islam. Despite this, such practices continue and are even broadcast on Turkish television. One striking example is the pilgrimage to Saint George on the island of Büyükada, where tens of thousands of Muslim Turks visit the church, light candles, make vows, and seek blessings. Some even walk barefoot up the hill to the church, tying threads along the path as part of a ritual for their wishes. Priests are seen blessing Muslim visitors, sometimes even making the sign of the cross on their foreheads. Finally, there was a mysterious event reported in 1998 on the island of Antigoni, where a strange, sorrowful sound—like a sigh—was heard every night around a church. Residents were alarmed and unable to explain it. Some interpreted it as a supernatural sign, even suggesting it was a message from the Virgin Mary—a lament for the state of the world and the abandonment of faith. The church, once full of Orthodox believers, now stands nearly empty. And this sorrowful “voice” was seen by some as a symbol of that loss. --- If you want, I can: * shorten this into a **powerful narration script** * or turn it into **YouTube documentary style with dramatic pacing**

Δεν λέω ότι ξέρεις ήδη την απάντηση. Αλλά αν δεν υπάρχει Θεός, τότε μένουν κάποια ερωτήματα που πρέπει να σταθούν μόνα τους. Πώς προέκυψε ένα σύμπαν με νόμους που δεν αλλάζουν; Γιατί η ύλη υπακούει σε μαθηματική τάξη; Πώς από απλή ύλη εμφανίζεται συνείδηση — η εμπειρία του “εγώ”; Και γιατί ο άνθρωπος δεν ψάχνει μόνο το “πώς”, αλλά και το “γιατί”; Δεν λέω ότι η απάντηση είναι εύκολη. Λέω όμως ότι η ερώτηση δεν εξαφανίζεται. Και ίσως τελικά, το ζήτημα δεν είναι ποιος “πιστεύει”. Αλλά ποιος αντέχει να δει ότι δεν έχουν εξηγηθεί όλα. — I’m not saying you already have the answer. But if there is no God, then some questions still remain. How did a universe governed by consistent laws come into existence? Why does matter follow mathematical order? How does mere matter give rise to consciousness — the experience of “I”? And why does human thought search not only for “how”, but for “why”? I’m not claiming the answer is easy. I’m saying the question doesn’t go away. And maybe the issue is not who “believes”. But who is willing to admit that not everything is explained.

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
