Father Nicholas anoints the Faithful from the Myrrh-Streaming Iveron Icon of the Holy Theotokos at St. Tikhon's Monastery

The Myrrh-Streaming Icon of the Mother of God from Hawaii

As part of the Memorial Day Pilgrimage at St. Tikhon's monastery, on Monday,  the Icon of the Holy Theotokos of Iveron was carried in procession by Father Nicholas of Holy Trinity and Father Michael of Holy Annunciation to the Monastery Bell Tower at 2:30 PM  for a Molieban to the Most Holy Theotokos and anointing of the sick, infirmed and all pilgrims.

"From thy Holy Icon, O Lady Theotokos, blessed myrrh has flowed abundantly. Thou hast thereby consoled those, in exile, faithful unto thee, and hast enlighten the unbelievers by thy Son's light. Therefore O Lady, with tears we bow down to thee. Be merciful to us in the hour of judgment. Lest having received thy mercy we be punished as those who have been contemptuous of it. But grant us through thy prayers to bring forth spiritual fruit, and save our souls" - Troparion to the Iveron Icon, Tone 7.
