I remember how I once went to Troeruchitsa and the day passed very calmly. It's good to be reminded of this day, for me this icon is always comforting.

Petru Munteanu

Yes, I also saw this icon at the monastery two years ago. I remembered how the Mother of God has a third hand, as if to hold us all. Thanks for the 11th of July reminder, I'm going to light a candle tonight.

Alexandru Matei

Yes, Petru, I also saw it at the Techirghiol monastery, also with that third hand that seems to encompass everything. It's a very powerful icon. I'll put a candle tonight too, to keep us close.

Ana Lungu

Yes Peter, I also lit a candle last night for this icon. In our parish, we have a smaller copy, but the third hand is clearly visible, as if it holds the whole village. Which monastery did you go to, the one in Iasi?

Marius Ciobanu

Yes, Petru, the third hand from "Troerucita" really gives you the impression that it includes you personally. I saw it for the first time at the monastery in Craiova, three years ago, and since then I have it on the wall at home. Which monastery did you go to two years ago?
