“This miraculous icon, which is also myrrh-streaming, has been known as the Hawaiian Icon since 2008 and has been officially recognized by the Russian Orthodox Church as a myrrh-streaming and miraculous icon,” writes the Macedonian Orthodox Diocese of Australia-Sydney.
An akathist was celebrated before the Icon by Fr. Gavril (Galev), abbot of the St. Clement of Ohrid Monastery in Melbourne and the Rockdale parish priest Fr. Vlado Nedeski.
A large number of faithful from the MOC and other Local Churches attended the service and had the opportunity to venerate the wonderworking Icon.
