Saint Spyridon. How the Relics of the Saint Are Venerated

Saint Spyridon is one of the most revered saints in Christianity. By the grace of God, his relics are miraculous and incorruptible. Besides the fact that the relics of Saint Spyridon have the normal temperature typical for a living person – 36.6°C (97.9°F), they also have not dried up with time and have the weight of an average person.

Four times a year, the clerics change Saint Spyridon’s clothes and, according to them, his skin feels warm and elastic to the touch. The clergymen have a feeling that they just dress up a person in his sleep.

The relics of Saint Spyridon are taken in procession around the Kerkyra island (Corfu) – the final resting place of the saint on the following occasions:

• Palm Sunday;

• Great and Holy Saturday;

• On August 11 – the day when the island was fully liberated from the Turkish invaders;

• The first Sunday of November.

The procession is accompanied by the performance of the brass band.

But Saint Spyridon himself does not stand aside and sometimes “comes out” to invisibly help the residents of the island to deal with their daily affairs and implement their dreams.

The clerics who take care of the relics say that the shoes of Saint Spyridon are constantly worn out, although they are renewed every year. There are also times when the shrine with relics cannot be opened – one of the keys does not turn in the keyhole. This means that the saint went out to walk and help the residents of Kerkyra.

Spyridon is the most popular name on Kerkyra, many islanders name their children after the saint. Besides the fact that the saint helps his neighbors – the inhabitants of the island where the shrine with the relics is kept, – he also helps all those who need his heavenly protection. The main thing is to ask him for help with goodness and sincerity in your soul, and he will definitely help!

Thousands of pilgrims come to Kerkyra every year to venerate the relics of this great saint!
