Myrna nazzour 2017 standard form

An icon in Syria that last exuded oil in has begun emanating again over Easter Weekend, according to a source close to the situation. The oil, scientifically proven to be from olives, first began flowing on Saturday, November 27, in an old Arab-style home to a young woman, Myrna Nazzour, who came from a family of Catholic and Orthodox in a modest Damascus neighborhood of Soufanieh near where Saul saw the Light of Christ.

At first it was an icon of Mary dressed in blue with the Child, but after that was taken to a local church for safe-keeping and veneration, at least a thousand other icons, including a famous purple one, began oiling in proximity. I am with you. Open the doors and do not deprive anyone from seeing me. Light a candle for me. Myrna, who at first thought she was hallucinating, experienced full-blown apparitions of the Blessed Mother from December through March of the following year while the oil apparently continued to emanate for another two decades.

It was during Holy Week sixteen years ago that it stopped and now the very end of Holy Week — a. April 15, Holy Saturday — it has resumed. The oiling also started the same week as a major bomb was dropped in Afghanistan and nuclear tensions over North Korea were greatly ratcheted up. Resource Library. Research Tools.

It examines the use of a particular life of a woman in Damascus, Myrna Nazzour, to instigate a certain life to be emulated.
