Исцеление священника Антонова

Priest of the Kiev-Pechersk prison church in the city of Shatsk, Tambov province. O. Semyon Antonov declares that through prayers through anointing with wooden oil from the grave of Father John of Kronshadt after serving (in his apartment and in the church) prayers to the Mother of God before Her Most High Miracle-Working Icon, he received a miraculous healing from severe deafness. “On April 28th, 1912, during this healing, Father John of Kronstadt in a dream called me to him to thank him, sitting in a carriage near the church fence of the village of Kotelny, Elatomsky district - my native village and near the garden of my sisters.” The said statement is certified by the handwritten signatures of: 1) the priest’s wife Antonina Antonova; 2) a resident of the city of Shatsk, collegiate assessor Pavel Dimitrievich Bogoroditsky and 3) a police supervisor of the 1st precinct of the city of Shatsk, Kryukovsky (with a government seal attached).
