We are devoted to helping people discover the compassion, comfort, and love of the Holy Mother of God.


Rekindling Hope Through Faith and Compassion
About Us
The fact that we are experiencing an unprecedented crisis throughout the whole of humanity is directly related to our alienation from God and the spiritual meaning that this intimacy with Him gives to our existence. However, as a compassionate Father, the Lord does not abandon us, but performs daily, through His Saints, many miracles and saving interventions. Our Holy Mother in particular “pioneers” in this care and concern for all people everywhere on this earth. She comforts in many ways the aching requests of Her children with her constant petitions to our Lord Jesus Christ and with the miracles she renders daily to those who turn to Her.
A great consolation and invaluable spiritual treasure that connects us with the miraculous protection of the Holy Mother is Her Holy Belt. According to the sacred tradition, the Holy Belt was given to the Apostle Thomas by the Holy Mother immediately after Her ascension. It is now considered a sacred pilgrimage due to the fact that it is the only personal object of the Theotokos that exists to this day. Today it is kept in the Holy & Great Monastery of Vatopedi.
We are here to help
Who we are
We are here to shed new light on the miraculous healing and care that the Holy Mother gives throughout the world through the grace of Her Holy Belt. Our aim is that people who suffer may, through the real events that others have experienced, find ways to rekindle hope, faith and joy by increasing their love for the all-praised Mother of God.
With the blessings of Vatopedi Monastery, we constitute a family, in which anyone can participate, as we ourselves volunteer our time and effort, regardless of social or national origin. We witness every day the Holy Mother heals, comforts, protects and saves many people from around the world.
The purpose is to document the miracles that Theotokos and Saints bring about daily, promoting them through the stories and personal experiences of the beneficiaries of these miracles in order to understand Her love which will help us.
