A remarkable and moving event was reported today at the General Hospital of Kalymnos, as an icon of Saint Ephraim is said to have begun exuding myrrh.
His Eminence Metropolitan Paisios of Leros, Kalymnos and Astypalaia was called to the scene to verify the occurrence. He collected the myrrh using cotton, so that it may be distributed to faithful believers wishing to receive a blessing.
According to initial assumptions, the event may be connected to prayers offered by a patient or a relative to the Saint.
The incident has sparked emotion and interest within the local community, with many describing it as a hopeful and uplifting sign for the island.
