Includes numerous, true miracle stories such as this one:

"[This story,] well-known to people of Southern Greece, involved a woman from Athens who, unable to bear a child, came to the monastery and asked for a piece of the myrrh-soaked cotton to take home. Instead of anointing herself with it, she prayed and swallowed the cotton. Within a short time she conceived, to the great joy of herself and her husband. When the child was born nine months later, the doctor noticed something in the baby’s hand, and opening it up, found the still fragrant myrrh-soaked cotton. The miracle was reported in the Athens newspapers and the woman herself testified to it in an affidavit to Archimandrite Dorotheos."
