Thank God that this icon from Hawaii reached us. I am glad that Patriarch Daniil directly blessed the people in the hospital, and the patients and the doctors, he did not just hold a general service.

Thank God that the icon from Hawaii reached our Academy of Arts. It is good that Patriarch Daniil did not limit himself to the service, but rather blessed the sick and doctors personally. We also have many nurses in Poltava who pray in front of the icons, especially when the shift is difficult.

Thank God that the icon from Hawaii has reached us. I am glad that Patriarch Daniil personally blessed the patients and doctors of the VMA, he did not just serve in general. In our parish, a nurse said that when she prays before the guard, she feels calmer.

Thank God that the icon reached the Military Medical Academy. It’s good that Patriarch Daniel not only served, but personally blessed both the sick and the doctors - this is a completely different matter. In Tula, one nurse from the clinic also always lights a candle in front of the icon of the Mother of God before her shift, she says that her hands are calmer afterwards.

Yes, a personal blessing is perceived completely differently. In Yekaterinburg, after such a visit to the icon in one hospital, the nurses themselves asked that it be brought again. And your nurse from Tula, I wonder what kind of icon of the Mother of God is in the clinic?

Yes, Svetlana, it is good that the Patriarch did not just serve, but rather approached the people with the icon. In our Poltava hospital on Sobornosta, nurses also often place a small icon of the Mother of God near the post, especially at night. And in which hospital do you work, if it's not a secret?

Thank God the Hawaiian icon made it to the WMAs. It is good that Patriarch Daniel blessed patients and doctors personally, not only with a common liturgy. In our hospital in Kutaisi, one nurse always gives her hand to a small icon of the Mother of God before going out, she says that then her nerves are calmer.

Yes, a personal blessing really does last a long time. In Novosibirsk, after such a visit of the icon to one hospital, both patients and doctors then asked to repeat it. Tell me, Elena, in that Yekaterinburg hospital what kind of icon was there then?
