My Saint Irene Chrysovalantou, I venerate you. My deep gratitude to your miraculous grace cannot be expressed in words.
A warm thanksgiving comes from my heart, from the heart of a suffering mother whom You helped and saved her child.
My daughter Eleni at the age of 6 suddenly had convulsions. I started taking her to the doctors at the clinics, but I didn't see any difference.
Then I began to think that the only savior of my child is the savior of the whole world, Jesus Christ. From one church I went to another, until I heard about your miraculous grace.
Faith and hope nestled in my aching soul that with your prayers Jesus Christ will help my child. I also came to your grace and venerated your miraculous Icon.
My child is fine now. She goes to school and plays casually with the other children and glorifies you.
As a small token of my gratitude, I vowed to give your name to my fourth angel that I was waiting to bring into the world.
He is now 14 months old and has your name. My belief that you will always be close to us is great and we all thank you.
With infinite gratitude,
E. S.
