Miracle of the Myrrh Streaming Icon
Saturday, August 8th, 2009
This shows myrrh streaming from the Iveron Icon of the Holy Theotokos in Hawaii. The myrrh slowly exudes from the face of the Theotokos who is holding the Christ Child. The icon is originally from the Russian Orthodox Church of Hawaii. It was lent to St. Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church during the Lenten season of 2008. My family and I were on a vacation and were blessed by the anointing of the myrrh on our foreheads. The powerful fragrance of the sweet smelling myrrh was overpowering and very spiritual. I have never seen anything like this before in my life. My entire family thank God for experiencing this miracle first hand.

The director’s cut of James Nethery’s Biblical adaption of the birth of Christ. It includes a scene that was originally included in the first version but was cut at the last minute because it was too violent to be shown to young children (the movie was going to be shown at a church). The result was a choppy scene transition that looked like something had been “cut out”. The scene has now been completely re-edited and re-entered into the film.
