Metropolitan Benediktos of Philadelphia, venerating the holy tomb of St. George Karslides (source)
On the feast of St. George Karslides in Drama (11/4/14), was found the Metropolitan Benediktos of Philadelphia as a pious pilgrim.
His Eminence wished to thank the celebrating Saint from his heart for the miracle that he worked for him recently.
According to information from Romfea.gr, a short time ago, there appeared a serious problem with his vocal cords.
He made numerous visits to special physicians, without finding the cause of his problem or more importantly giving him healing.
When, at the suggestion of the Abbess of the Holy Monastery (of the Ascension of Christ, Sipsa), Gerontissa Porphyria, he drank some holy water from the grace-flowing relics of St. George, and after prayer, his throat was healed.
As a sign of thanksgiving for the Saint's miracle, he vowed to take a cow to his monastery, on his feast.
The fulfillment of his vow occurred on November 4th, 2014, and the pictures are incontrovertible.
It should be noted that the Metropolitan of Philadelphia was granted hospitality like Abraham by the local Metropolitan Paul of Dramas, who had been his friend for many years.

Through the prayers of our Holy Fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us and save us! Amen!
