This is the hospital bed at Aretaieion Hospital in Athens, Greece in which the Great Wonderworker St. Nektarios of Aegina reposed in the Lord. One can visit this room and pray. Every morning the doctors and nurses before going to work place their coats and sweaters on the bed, say a prayer and then go to work. Holy St. Nektarios, pray to God for us!

The “Seven Arrows” Icon of the Mother of God depicts the Virgin’s heart pierced by seven arrows. The original icon stood at the belltower stairway entrance of a church in honor of Holy Apostle John. It faced downwards, so people mistook it for a board and walked on it. Then a cripple had a vision that he would be healed by this icon. The icon was found and glorified; afterwards, the cripple healed. The icon worked miracles during a cholera epidemic.

An Orthodox prayer rope. A monk from Mount Athos wrote: "This prayer rope is knotted from wool, that is, it has been sheared from a sheep, a reminder that we are rational sheep of the Good Shepherd, Christ the Lord, & also a reminder of the Lamb of God Who takes away the sins of the world. The cross like wise speaks to us of this sacrifice & victory of life over death, of humility over pride, of self-sacrifice over selfishness, of light overdarkness."

“We must not despair when we struggle and continuously see nothing but the slightest progress. We all do nearly nothing — some a little more, some a little less. When Christ sees our little effort, He gives us an analogous token; and so our “nearly nothing” becomes valuable, and we can see a little progress. For this reason we must not despair, but hope in God. — Elder Paisios Friend Of God, Hope In God, Godly Man, The Kingdom Of God
