Millville, NJ: The Myrrh-Streaming Icon of the Mother of God "Softener of Evil Hearts" visits St. Nicholas Church

On Saturday, October 3, the myrrh-streaming icon of the Mother of God "Softener of Evil Hearts" visited St. Nicholas Church in Millville, NJ. A moleben with an akathist was officiated by Archimandrite Athanasy (Mastalski), co-served by parish rector Priest Nicholas Manduke, Archpriest Stefan Hutnik, Archpriest Evgeny Solodky and parish Deacon Jonathon Yerkes. Archpriest Liubo Milosevich, Archpriest Anatoly Dokhvat, Deacon Serge Ohotin, and over 150 faithful prayed during the service. After being anointed with holy myrrh, a woman was instantly healed of her pain and paralysis that she had suffered since a recent car accident. After the service, the icon departed to Washington, DC, where it was greeted by His Eminence, Metropolitan Hilarion.
