Psalm 46:11 – “The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.”
Emad Guirguis - Mit Ghamr, Egypt
My nephew, Abanoub Ragai, is 12 years old. He was playing soccer with the other boys on the playground in the church of St. George the Great in Mit Ghamr. After he finished playing, he poured cold water on his head that caused some paralysis in his eye and his jaw. We took him to the doctor who ordered a CT Scan for him. After reviewing the CT Scan and examined my nephew, he confirmed that Abanoub does have paralysis and that it would be very difficult to treat. This occurred on the first day of the fast in 2008.
We went to St. Bishoy’s church in Port Said where I took a bottle of St. Mary’s holy oil from the priest and anointed my nephew’s head with the oil about 7pm. At about 11pm on the same night, Abanoub was sitting with his grandmother, and suddenly, Abanoub was able to move his face, open his eyes, and he was able to start eating. We took him to the docotor who said that Abanoub had made unusually good progress and we informed the doctor that we anointed him with St. Mary’s holy oil.
Abanoub is doing much better now, and is showing about an 80% overall improvement. We thank God and His saints for the work they have done for us. I came today to take some of the holy oil once again and I thank God and St. Mary for this miracle.

Psalm 127:3 – “Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD”
Joseph William Kamel – Cairo, Egypt
I got married on February 23, 2006, and for a year and a half of marriage, my wife any I could not conceive a child. After some lab work and visits with the doctor, I was told that I could not have children. After this diagnosis, my wife and I tried artificial insemination, which did not work. Consequently, my wife and I decided to visit St. Bishoy’s church in Port Said where we heard about the story of St. Mary’s Icon secreting holy oil. A priest at the church told us about the story of St. Mary’s Icon and he anointed me with the holy oil from St. Mary’s icon. I told the priest that I was married and for a year and a half, my wife any I could not conceive.
The priest placed his crucifix on my head and my wife’s head as he began to pray for us. He told us that St. Mary is very compassionate with her children and that she would give us and provide us joy in our hearts. The priest gave me a bottle of holy oil to drink from. Shortly after our visit in Port Said, God’s name was glorified. In August 2007, my wife became pregnant, and God blessed us with Stephen who was baptised in St. Mary and the Archangel’s cathedral in Port Said.
We thank St. Mary for her compassion on us and also thank God who was glorified in His saints.
Bible Verse
Bishoy Emad Aziz – Egypt
My son was in a car accident on his way back from Cairo on 10/12/2007. He had multiple breaks in his joints, left shin, and his right knee cap. He was told that he would need to have plates and screws inserted to his heel and shin. Some doctors thought it would be necessary to have several operations in order to fix all of his breaks. Other doctors concurred that it was very doubtful that anything could be done to repair his fractures since joint injuries do not heal very well. Another opinion was that the joints would need to be replaced altogether.
After hearing all of these dismal recommendations, I anointed my son with St. Mary’s holy oil that I obtained from St. Bishoy’s church in Port Said. When the doctor came out of the operation room, he informed us that my son would not need the plates or screws afterall and that God willing his injuries will heal on their own. Additionally, it was found unnecessary for any operation to be performed on the injuries in his joints. With the blessing and intercession of St. Mary and her holy oil that I anointed my son with, my son is now able to walk normally – thanks to St. Mary.

As soon as my son gave me the vial of oil, I opened it up and drank it all. I immediately felt that pain leaving my body, and I started moving around normally.
