*** There I saw the miracle of igniting candles personally. In Easter I saw when after of whiff of wind all candles flare serially when the Priest did follow to consecrate the Pasha baskets. It was a real miracle which I saw by my own eyes!! Like someone invisible did follow with his miraculousness fire lighting candles. This is what me (Lyudmyla, Ukrservice.com owner) saw personally. This temple is very old and there is a legend, that the wedding icons purchased in this church bring happiness to marrying people and they live happily all life. ~ Ukrservice.com ~
Vinnitsa's Piously-Reviving temple is very old and there is a legend, that the wedding icons purchased in this church bring happiness to marrying people and they live happily all life. And it is valid, according to the majority of marriages which took place in this church are happy and successful. I personally familiar with many people who had a wedding ceremony in this temple and I am not familiar with no one who divorced after being married in this Church, so it's why I strongly recommend to buy our Icons for your wedding.
Vinnitsa's Piously-Reviving temple externally a little than differs from hundreds other Ukrainian orthodox churches. Neither parishioners of a temple, nor other inhabitants of a country town might not assume, that become the centre of orthodox pilgrimage. But the miracle has taken place and has accidently opened to the world.
Priests of a temple have decided to embellish and convert church territory slightly. Opportunities for this purpose were, two maples, from time immemorial grown at a wall of church prevented only. Them have decided to cut. When old trunks have failed on the ground, to eyes of priests the unusual picture has opened: on fresh cuts of stubs have clearly appeared images of crosses. Trunks of maples have sawn on rings in centimeter thickness and have seen: to tops of trees the picture on a cut varied - the cross changed in a silhouette of the person with long hair and a cross on shoulders (on belief of priests, it Jesus going to Golgotha), further being replaced by the image of crucifixion Savior. Contours these were not abstractly outlined, and very precise and clear. The most surprising, that they were showed simultaneously on two trees. Even atheists might not tell, that maple crosses it is simply church focus: they are palpable, are real and looked very convincingly.
To a miracle pilgrims - from crosses were immediately pulled, they asserted they proceeds warmly, cleaning any illnesses or negative energy.
Attendants of a temple have put forward the version of the phenomenon: on a place where two maples have grown, the priest was buried. Roots of young trees have braided a cross on his breast and have reflected him in a core of a trunk.
Science officers, according to attendants of Piously-Reviving temple, coming to have a look at a miracle, have not found to it explanations. But this scientific explanation has not afflicted Vinnitsa priests: they decide to save the miracle place. In this situation clerics of a Vinnitsa temple have thought up how to protect the new relic. Maple crosses are now under a glass cap. Around of them the impressive marble fencing is erected. Under the official version for protection against snow, a rain and other bad weather. Thousands of new believers arriving yearly to bow to this wonderful miracle. ***Please contact us if you have any question or comment.
Wednesday, August 4, 2010: Inexplicable Stillness In Vinnitsa
Many remarkable miracles occurred within the Russian Orthodox Church during Soviet times. Fr. Haralambos D. Vasilopoulos describes a series of such incidents in his. Another miracle in Vinnitsa:
Many remarkable miracles occurred within the Russian Orthodox Church during Soviet times. Fr. Haralambos D. Vasilopoulos describes a series of such incidents in his book Contemporary Miracles of Russia (Sinhrona Thaumata Sti Rossia). Below is an example: On the 14th of August 1925, the inhabitants of the city of Vinnitsa, Ukraine collected all the icons they had in their homes and then went out to form an improvised religious procession through the streets. Thousands of the faithful walked quietly with their icons in their hands.
Then something inexplicable happened. The noise of the city suddenly ceased for some unknown reason. Trolley cars stopped. No chatter of birds in the sky. Even the animals in the zoo became mute and stood motionless. Children did not yell or cry. In factories and workshops the machines were silent. This went on until nine o' clock in the evening.
Everyone came to the conclusion that this was happening because Christ and His saints were passing through the city and the neighboring villages. The next day also was the feast day in honor of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary.
