Any religion is based on faith. However, faith should receive some kind of nourishment, which in Christianity, undoubtedly, is the descent of the divine Fire, healing at the relics and the myrrh-streaming of icons.
The most inexplicable, mysterious and mysterious event is the myrrh streaming of icons and relics. Initially, it is worth explaining what the word "myrrh streaming" means. Myrrh streaming is a phenomenon in Christianity, when moisture begins to appear on icons or holy relics, which in its structure is oily and has a fragrant smell, its color varies from light shades to bright red. The people describe such a miracle with one phrase “icons cry”.
Myrrh streaming as a phenomenon
Thousands of myrrh streams occur all over the world, and all these cases give rise to controversy and disagreement. People are divided into two camps: believers who consider the flow of myrrh as a sign, a sign from above, and people who are trying to find an explanation for these events with the help of science.
Skeptics tend to consider myrrh only as moisture, which is emitted by the drying woody canvas of icons.
Myrrh streaming was first noticed and recorded in chronicles in 1040, a little later, in 1087, the myrrh streaming of the holy relics of Nicholas the Wonderworker was noticed. It is believed that icons are streaming myrrh before major events, in particular before wars or cataclysms. Believers are inclined to see in the separation of the world as a divine sign, a warning.
Myrrh streaming in peacetime is explained by the proximity of God, his benevolence, therefore believers rush to touch the miracle, to pray in a church or in a house where myrrh streaming is recorded.
Miro
Laboratory analyzes have shown that myrrh is a liquid of organic origin. It arises inexplicably. The most interesting thing was revealed after studying this liquid, taken from one icon, the results were amazing, they proved that the liquid is fully consistent with a real human tear.
The antiquity or novelty of the icon does not matter for myrrh streaming, just like the material of the icons, it can be wood, glass and paper, myrrh can appear on all these materials. The shape and size of the drops are different, sometimes they flow over the entire canvas, sometimes they appear only in some areas. The consistency of myrrh is varied, it can be thick and viscous or light like a dewdrop.
A miracle can be called those cases when a sick person was anointed with the world and healed.
The miracle of healing by the world in medicine is called nothing more than a placebo effect. Human faith is so strong that the body heals itself.
In addition to exuding myrrh and tears, blood was also released, which meant a wound inflicted on the image of the saint - this was an example for people to understand that it is impossible to offend a shrine. All these wonderful streams of myrrh are organic origins, which are governed by nature itself.
