In the Christian tradition, the icon is a window into the spiritual world. The reverent veneration of the holy image goes back to the person depicted on the icon itself. In Orthodoxy there are many miraculous icons, some of them are myrrh-streaming.
The myrrh-streaming icon is a unique phenomenon. In Christianity, there are images that exude a miraculous world (an oily liquid with miraculous properties). It is believed that the holy world on the icon has an unearthly origin. It can exude a pleasant fragrance, and when anointing sore spots, the suffering person is given help and healing in the disease.
The chemical composition of this divine world has not yet been fully studied by scientists. The myrrh-streaming of icons is a real miracle, which is not fully explained by science. Many myrrh-streaming icons were investigated by scientists on the fact of falsification. Opinions were put forward that the world was just splashes from oil of oil lamps or specially applied drops of oil (oil). However, many myrrh-streaming icons are in salaries where oil cannot penetrate. Points of view were put forward that the tree itself exudes oil. However, myrrh-streaming icons can be iron or paper. It is noteworthy that the drops of the world rolling down the icon can move not from top to bottom, but rather from bottom to top, thereby violating the basic laws of physics.
There is a special commission of scholars in the Russian Orthodox Church that understands the facts of various miracles. Myrrh-streaming icons also come under the scrutiny of scientists. This commission can, after a careful study of the formation of the world on the icon, conclude that this is a miracle or an ordinary occurrence.
Many myrrh-streaming icons are miraculous. People who attach to such images can receive healing from ailments, sometimes the secret requests of worshipers are fulfilled. The world itself with miraculous icons also has miraculous properties.
The icon can begin to myrrh at any time. However, in recent years it has been noticed that the myrrh-streaming of icons takes place before very important or terrible events in the world.
