Thanks for this story. It is good that Reverend Sava personally came to the chapel of Grigoriopol and gave a blessing to the icon. We all need this kind of prayer for peace.

Ирина Соловьёва

Thanks for the news. It’s good that Vladyka Savva, after the Rybnitsa deanery, stopped by this particular chapel and prayed before the Three-Handed One for peace. Here in New York we also often remember this icon, especially when asking for help with illnesses.

Ирина Андреева

Thank you, Irina. Here in Yaroslavl, too, the Three-Handed Mother is especially revered for diseases of the hands and joints - many grandmothers wear small icons with this very prayer. And in Grigoriopol, the chapel, although small, is always well-kept, especially after renovation last year. In New York, which church do you visit most often?

Thanks for the news. I am glad that His Holiness Savva stopped at the chapel in Grigoriopol after his visit to Rîbnița District and prayed before Troierucita precisely for peace and the strengthening of faith. Here in Constanța, we also have the "Treirucile" in the old church, and people come especially when they have hand pain or rheumatism.

Thank you, Irina. In Nizhny, too, many people wear the Three-Handed One specifically for pain in their hands, especially after working in the garden. And in Grigoriopol, after the renovation, the chapel really became completely different - clean, with fresh paint. Have you lived in New York for a long time or has it been a long time?

Thanks for the news. It's good that His Holiness Savvas went right after Ribnica to this little church of Tricheroussa in Grigoriopol and prayed for peace. In Heraklion we have a similar image at home, my mom holds it when her shoulder hurts from cooking.

Good evening Dimitris. I'm glad that the image of Tricherousa is helping your mom with her shoulder after cooking, the Virgin Mary is really strong. Here in Larissa, my grandmother also had it at home and only took it out on holidays. How do you have it, in wood or on paper?

Good visit of His Eminence after Ribnica. In our house we also have a small icon of Tricherousa from Patrida, my wife holds it when her wrist hurts from knitting. It is good that he prayed for peace, we all need it.

Спасибо за новость. Хорошо, что владыка Савва заехал в эту часовню после Рыбницкого благочиния и помолился именно о мире перед Троеручицей. У нас в хоре тоже часто поём тропарь этой иконе, особенно когда кто-то жалуется на руки после работы в саду.

Thank you, Maya. I also like that Reverend Sava prayed to this icon for peace. Grigoriopolis chapel is always a special place for us, "Troeruchitsa" there is very respected.

Σπύρος Μιχαηλίδης

Well said, Theodore. We also have a small picture of Tricheroussa at home from my grandmother, we brought it from Thessaloniki years ago. I'm glad he prayed for peace, because with the fishing I do in Pagasitikos I see how calm the waters have to be to catch anything.

Thank you Thea, I am also glad that Reverend Sava prayed for peace right in front of "Troeruchitsa". My uncle in Grigoriopol often goes there and says that the icon really leaves a person very calm. are you there often
