Theotokos Icon ‘Crying Tears of Oil’ In France

March 11, 2010

UK Telegraph — Esat Altindagoglu has been inundated with more than 50 visitors a day hoping to see the “miracle” at his house near Paris. The one-foot high painting was given to his wife Sevin by a Lebanese priest on her birthday in 2006, the Turkish-born salesman said. It began weeping oil on February 12 this year, and had been “crying” every day since, he claimed.

He said: “As word spread, people started arriving from France, then from all over Europe.

“I’ve been having between 50 and 60 people a day turning up for more than three weeks now.”

An Orthodox priest had now agreed to say mass at his home in Garges-les-Gonesse this week to thank the Virgin Mary, Mr Altindagoglu said.

Whosoever wrote the above article knows nothing about Orthodoxy. There is no “mass” in the Orthodox Church. The Divine Liturgy is served and celebrated, filled with God’s Grace. Mass is an empty
useless exercise which merely confuses those who partake in its false communion.
