Set during the 1950s, this miracle describes how Geronta Theologos endured the persecution of the old calendarists at the hands of the Greek state church.

Saints Peter and Paul Orthodox Church is a beautiful mission parish near downtown Tucson, a city in southern Arizona. It was started in 1997 by Father John Bockman, who was a missionary Priest formerly serving missions in Tennessee and Massachusetts since 1990.
