Corinth

Icon of Christ in ‘tears’ … since election! (Photos + Video)

Teary-eyed and hopeful that they are witnessing a miracle, thousands of believers have been visiting the Aghios Nikolaos (St. Nicholas) church in Corinth prefecture, in order to pay tribute to the icon of the “Crying Jesus”. Some speak of a miracle and others can’t wait to get there and see the icon up close.
