Our venerable mother Irene of Chrysovalantou was the abbess of the monastery of Chrysovalantou. Her feast day is on July 28. Originally slated to wed the Emperor, she went to the monastery of Chrysovalantou, and immediately engaged herself in vigils and prayer. She then replaced the Abbess very early on, and increased her spiritual struggles, with great trust in God to guide the community properly. She developed the gifts of foresight and exorcism. Her prayer through the night continued in the courtyard of the monastery, and caused herself to levitate and the cypress trees to bend towards her. She was granted three apples from St John the Theologian, visions of angels, and appeared in a vision to the Emperor to release an unjustly convicted man. After her death at 102 years, she continued to be a wonderworker.

My Interests

His Excellency Metropolitan Paisios of Tyana, abbot of the Patriarchal Stavropegial Monastery of Saint Irene Chrysovalantou.

I'd like to meet:


INTERVENTIONS OF THE MOST GRACIOUS ST. IRENE CHRYSOVALANTOUHoly Father of Saint Irene Chrysovalantou Church in Astoria, New York, I am writing this letter with reverence to tell you that I am not worth the miracle which Saint Irene Chrysovalantou performed to such an unfaithful and sarcastic person like me. Last year, while the miraculous icon of Saint Irene Chrysovalantou was in Chicago, my wife and I went to worship and take the blessed apple. When my wife offered me the Holy Apple, I ate it even though I told her with sarcasm: “Do you really believe that this apple can do whatever science couldn’t do in order to give us a child?” That was true, for five years science kept telling us there is no hope for us to have a child. But in spite of my unfaithfulness, Saint Irene Chrysovalantou did the miracle to me with her Holy Apple. One month after the day we both ate the Apple we found that my wife was pregnant. So, now we have our little adorable Chrysovalanti who makes our life full of dreams and happiness. This year, we went to worship the miraculous icon of Saint Irene Chrysovalantou. My son Chrysovalanti, Saint Irene’s gift to a truly unfaithful and unworthy person like me, was there too. Father, please pray to Saint Irene Chrysovalantou to protect our little child during his whole life. From our part, we do promise we are going to come to worship Her Grace, in Astoria, on the name day of Saint Irene Chrysovalantou, which is also my son’s name day. We kiss your hand with respect, Angelos, Sofia and Chrysovalanti Chicago Ill.
