Cephalonia, September 3, 2013
The
famous Convent of Dormition of the Mother of God in
Cephalonia has been robbed. The miracle with the snakes
happens in it every year on the Patronal feast: in the
memory of deliverance of the Convent's sisters from
pirates through prayers before the Panagia Fidousa
Icon, the Church is filled with venomous snakes which
are not dangerous for people on that day.
This church has been robbed and the wonder-working icon
desecrated, reports the Bulgarian website Dveri na
Pravoslavieto. The unidentified people entered the
Church through the window, broke down the glass at the
icon, and took stole all the gifts and donations that had
been left there by pilgrims.
