The photos and videos here are from the Church of the Panagia in Markopoulo of Kefallonia from August 14, 2019. Two snakes made their appearance this year in Markopoulo, and the Metropolitan urged the faithful: "We should be in awe of the snakes, but we should not venerate them, as this could lead to idolatry."
I have an amazing little booklet available I wanted to offer to my readers for purchase which would make especially great reading for Great Lent. Recently I was commissioned to translate some beneficial writings of Righteous Alexei Mechev, but it didn't fall through and I was left with a bunch of booklets I would like to now sell instead of counting my losses. Please order today!
