Orthodox Parables and Stories: "Yes he comes every night and sits here on the stone."

"Yes he comes every night and sits here on the stone."

And no matter what the great, the politicians and the powerful say, and whatever the world thinks, those places will be Christian for centuries.

When my Elder Hierotheos, Bishop of Hydria came to Silibri,, hometown of St. Nectarios to find something from the place where this miracle-working Saint of our century was born, looking to find something, but unfortunately they destroyed everything, they exterminated everything and slowly, slowly with a lot of patience and humility, the blessed one learned where the Saint's house was and went to venerate.

The Saints have grace, they are God-bearing and their places become holy, they also sanctify the trees and the stones.
So Bishop Hierotheos was looking and an old Turk told him:
"Elder, an old priest comes here at night and sits."
"What is it my child? the Bishop asked and the Turk described him. Then he took out of his pocket the image of the Saint, his patron Saint, and showed him:
"Yes, he comes every night and sits here on the stone."
And the Bishop bent down and bowed to the stone, for the Saints do not leave their place, overseeing, guarding and blessing.
