When the blue Icon (the distinction is based on the color of clothes
of the Virgin) is transferred in triumph to the Byzantine Greek-Orthodox
church of the Holy Cross (approx 500 meters/yards from their house) on
Sunday, January 9th, 1983, it ceases to exude oil and it is replaced by
the purple copy of the Icon starting January 17th, 1983. Oil flows on more
than a thousand photographic reproductions of the icon. It gushes out of
the ground of the terrace at the place where the Holy Virgin has appeared.
It flows from a three dimensional painting of the Holy Virgin; a prayer
book; the wall behind which a niche is placed, under key, the blue Icon;
from the panes closing the 2 niches (the one in the entrance and the one
in the hall); from the cotton inside a box destined to be distributed to
sick people; a medal carried around the neck of Myrna, etc...

Some bone-related illness recoveries or the like, a case of cancer, a case of pregnancy with the presence of an important quantity of fibromas have been certified by several physicians. (see reports of doctors Peter Salam and Jamil Marji).
In answer to the oil phenomenon, a dense spiritual phenomenon imposes itself through prayer. People pray in an atmosphere of peace not only in Our Lady's house in Soufanieh, but also in the homes where oil has manifested itself, thus bringing back communal family prayer.
As for spiritual healing, one cannot fail but notice their fruits everyday,
and they are wonderful.
