On October 8 the Myrrh-Streaming “Softening of Evil Hearts” Icon of the Theotokos Will Arrive in San Francisco.
On October 8, with the blessing of His Holiness Patriarch Kyrill and Metropolitan Hilarion, the Myrrh-Streaming “Softening of Evil Hearts” Icon of the Theotokos from Russia will visit San Francisco. This is the Icon's first visit to the U.S. Since this icon from the Bogolubsky Cathedral in Pushkino began streaming myrrh thousands of faithful have venerated it. The Rector of the Bogolubsky Cathedral remarks that: “All who pray before the Icon will feel a softening of the heart... If you pray for your enemies before it, their hostile thoughts will depart, leaving in their place a feeling of mercy.” Parishioners in Pushkino have witnessed not only cures from evil and envy, but healing of the body as well. The greeting of the Icon and Molieben with Akathist are scheduled for Thursday, October 8 at 7:00 PM at the Holy Virgin Cathedral in San Francisco (6210 Geary Boulevard).
