“There will be a lot more miracles for Georgia sent by God,” - declared the Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia Ilia II on the Sunday sermon on the Octave Day marked today. “God will send a miracle when the nation or a person is in need. You see a cross in the middle of the temple that was made by King Mirian and Queen Nana and St. Nino. This is the biggest sanctity for Georgia. The cross was on Tkhota Mountain – a place where King Mirian was totally blinded on the day of St. Ilya the Prophet and God gave him power to acknowledge the truth. This is Tkhota’s cross – the greatest sanctity with great power not only for us but the whole world. This cross was kept in the museum for the last time and was given to us for the nation to pray”, - Ilia II declared.

Patriarch also said that an individual must have a strong belief and not be afraid of trouble, that will be over and peace will come. Georgia will flourish as Georgia has been truly worshiping God for the 20 centuries.

Ilia II blessed children with leukemia at the end of the preaching service and also several Georgian families. Patriarch also gave scholarships to the excellent students.
